Acts: God's Vision For His Church
As we begin a new chapter in the history of First Church PCA, our first task will be to discern God’s vision for his church. In this study of the inspired history of the early church in the Book of Acts, we will consider the implications for the church today, as we await the return of Jesus Christ in the future (Acts 1:11).
