Unhindered: The study of the Book of Acts

•God could have chosen to reveal Himself and His promises to the world directly, and he has done just that on occasion, yet in this age He chose to do so through the Church, the true worshippers of Jesus Christ. The Book of Acts chronicles the beginning of the Church in which Jesus stated to his disciples that He would build it and that it would not be stopped, would not be destroyed. Matthew 16:15–18 (CSB) 15 “But you,” he asked them, “who do you say that I am?” 16 Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” 17 Jesus responded, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but my Father in heaven. 18 And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overpower it.
