Camp Acts July Devo (digital)

“I’m so glad you’re joining me for this study of Acts: Life in the Holy Spirit. The book of Acts shows us what can happen when ordinary people are convinced that the extraordinary Spirit of God has been given to them. As Biblical scholar Craig Keener wrote, Acts doesn’t allow believers in Jesus to “settle for a purely intellectual examination of faith,” but “invites us to also experience God’s power in and through us.” The men and women of Acts put on display what life surrendered to Christ and empowered by the Holy Spirit can actually look like in practice.

That’s why one of the best things we’ll do together in the coming sessions is … practice! My hope is that our time together will not simply inform you about the Holy Spirit, but invite you to encounter Him personally. Instead of zooming quickly through every chapter and verse of Acts, our goal will be to allow the Spirit and His scriptures to saturate our lives.“ – Taylor Rauschkolb
