People have always known Christians are different. The Book of Acts shows us in the first few chapters two ways that difference was apparent: how they died and how they viewed economics. Christians’ drastic and unreasonable generosity was one reason they gained attention and turned the world upside down. God’s grace breaks the power of money over us and makes us more generous. God’s grace to us makes giving that grace to others our greatest thrill.

Every book of the Bible is about Jesus. Although some Bibles title the fifth book of the New Testament “The Acts of the Apostles,” it’s still about Jesus. We’re not going to study it as just scholars, but we’re going to study it also as soldiers. Scholars and soldiers tend to be the ones who study history the most. Scholars tend to look at what people used to do; soldiers tend to look for what remains to be done. One is for information, the other is for mission. We will study the Book of Acts for both.
