Turning the World Upside Down : Lessons for the Church from Acts 1-8 by Iain M. Duguid

Accessible Exposition of Acts 1-8 Shows How God's Mission Continues After Christ's Ascension, Through Ordinary Believers, by the Power of the Holy Spirit? In their eagerness to share the gospel, modern churches can focus on the wrong things, such as political influence, attendance numbers, or ministry techniques. This is nothing new. In the book of Acts, even Jesus's disciples wondered which of these earthly methods he would use to establish God's kingdom. But Jesus taught his followers then-and continues to teach us today-how the church, empowered by the Holy Spirit, will take the gospel to the nations. In this accessible exposition of Acts 1-8, Iain Duguid explores the continuing work of Jesus after the ascension. Drawing practical lessons from the life of the early church, as well as his own 30 years as a church planter, Duguid encourages believers today toward gospel-driven, Spirit-filled mission.
