Acts is a travel log of the church’s journey through the many changes that God puts in the path of His people. Change is the thread which weaves its way through these first twelve chapters of this first volume and really the whole book. I subtitled this study guide When everything changes because I think this theme not only draws out what is described by Luke, but also because it has real world application for anyone reading this.

Paul and Jesus are joined in one important way; the way of a miracle. They met one day on the road to Damascus while Paul supposedly pursued Christians. Jesus, in a sense, told Paul to get with the program and stop persecuting his people. In this incident, the Bible tells us, Jesus is already dead, resurrected and leading his flock from his throne in heaven. He spoke to Paul as from a dream, knocking him from his horse and speaking to him as a spirit. It is thought he gave Paul the gift of enlightenment, a new brighter vision of a world ruled by Jesus and his Father in heaven. Paul had been...
