These sessions explore the Book of Acts and focus on how the followers of Christ found the strength to speak God’s Word with boldness, sacrifice for the good of others, obey God’s call over earthly authority, and remember God’s faithfulness. Unit 2: “Giving Bold Testimony” also has four sessions and is based on the Book of Acts. This unit takes a look at spiritual power that resulted in Jesus’ followers taking risks to tell the good news and an increase in believers. Unite 3: “Spreading the Gospel” is a five-session unit and continues in the Book of Acts. This unit tells how the fervent prayer of the church and an angel delivered Peter and how Paul’s preaching resulted in the good news being spread into new regions.
