Acts and the Godhead: Pentecost, Kingship, and the Birth of the Church

Listen to this episode from The Apostolic Classroom on Spotify. In this episode of The Apostolic Classroom, Steven, Jeremias, and Andrew explore how the book of Acts continues the story of God’s kingship revealed in the Gospels. Beginning with Pentecost, they trace the fulfillment of Old Testament promises through the outpouring of the Spirit, the anointing of God’s people, and the birth of the church.Key themes include the connection between Sinai and Pentecost, the historicity of Acts and Luke’s reliability as a historian, Peter’s sermon and its Christological focus, and the extension of covenant promises from Israel to the Gentiles. Along the way, they highlight how Acts presents not novelty but fulfillment—the revelation of Jesus as both Lord and Christ, and the empowering of His people as citizens of His kingdom.
