Read the BOOK OF ACTS
BETWEEN NOW & PENTECOST (MAY 31ST)
The Gospel of Luke is about the ministry, death, and resurrection of Jesus. The Book of Acts, which is Luke’s volume 2, continues the story of what the risen and ascended Christ continues to do by being present in and through His church, His baptized people.

Here’s a good suggestion for disciplining yourself to read the Bible: do your reading in the morning before you look at your phone. Bible before phone. –It’s surprisingly challenging to leave that phone alone, but effective in getting us to focus on God.
As you read Acts, think: “We today are also on mission with the risen Jesus, and I have also been given the Holy Spirit. What is Jesus doing around me? Who does He want me to notice and to help today?”
So as not to lose the big picture while reading Acts, you will find it helpful to go online to The Bible Project on YouTube and see the four short videos they have about this book. (More information below.)
As an aid to help you read the Book of Acts, we recommend the videos from the Bible Project. They are very easy to find if you just type “The Bible Project” into YouTube. Additionally, they have their own website, which you will find linked below. We encourage you to watch these as you read the book of Acts. The first two videos are below.
