What do the two words "Repentance" and "Evangelism" mean and what do they actually look like in practice?
Part 2 of Peter's talk to the crowd at Pentecost picks up on Psalm prophecies that point to Jesus, and uses truth, witness testimony and the crowd's experience to introduce them to God.
Peter's sermon, explaining tongues to the crowd, welcomes them to the end times and their implications.

Waiting prayerfully and working obediently - the culture of the first believers can become our own as we keep writing the story of the church.
David Moffitt, from Saint Mary’s College, opens up for us why Jesus’ ascension is so important in our understanding of how we now relate to God.
Kicking off the Acts part of our Joshua & Acts series, Jim explores Jesus' message that the Kingdom of God is at hand, and the mission and commission he gives the disciples in Acts 1
Luke appears to frame Acts as a narrative of conquest after the pattern of Joshua.

Immediately after the Israelites cross the Jordan, they take the time to re-dedicate themselves to God and to remember all that He has done for them. They are then ready to receive the bizarre instructions for the conquest of Jericho which happens, not in their own strength but, with the Presence of God at the heart of it. To get involved in what God is doing we should also take the time to get close to God to be ready to receive His instructions.
