Join The Chara Project as they take you into the powerful, fast-moving story in the seventh era of the Story of the Bible—the Early Church era—found in the book of Acts.
If the Gospels show us Jesus’ life and ministry, Acts shows what happened next… and how an unlikely group of ordinary people, empowered by the Holy Spirit, carried the message of Jesus from Jerusalem to the ends of the earth.
You’ll explore the dramatic moments that launched the church: Jesus’ final instructions, the explosive arrival of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, Peter’s bold preaching, and the miraculous growth of a diverse, Spirit-filled community. You’ll see how persecution scattered believers—and how God used even suffering to spread hope.
The episode also unpacks the stunning transformation of Saul into Paul, God’s “chosen instrument” to take the gospel to the nations, and the sweeping shift as Gentiles began entering God’s family. From house churches to miracles to missionary journeys, Acts shows the gospel breaking barriers, confronting opposition, and fulfilling promises God made long before.
Whether you’re new to the Bible or building deeper confidence in understanding it, this episode will help you see how the Early Church’s story continued the unstoppable movement Jesus set in motion.
