History of the Church in Acts (ASL) Lesson 2

The first day & the first church

Richard Rogers and Hollis Maynard • Acts 1:15—2:47

The lesson discusses the early chapters of the Book of Acts, focusing on the beginnings of the Church of Christ. It covers key events such as the first day of the church, the selection of Matthias to replace Judas as an apostle, and the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. Peter's sermon led to the conversion of 3,000 people, marking the first congregation. The early Christians devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching, fellowship, breaking of bread, and prayer. Unity, fellowship, and generosity were central as they met daily, shared resources, and grew in numbers as God added to their community.
