Studies in the Book of Acts
6 primary works
Book 1
"There can be no more urgent question at this present time than just this: What is Christianity?" Some define it as an elevated, optimistic philosophy of life. Many regard it as a set of morals to live by, or a good feeling about yourself, or doing good things. Still others dismiss it as something for the intellectually weak. Within these pages, however, Martyn Lloyd-Jones challenges you to think through exactly what you believe Christianity to be and the role it has in your life. He believes that today's understanding of Christianity, even as defined by many who consider themselves to be its followers, is in complete contrast to what is taught in the Bible. Christianity is not a list of things for you to do, but rather, your only true hope, for it tells what Jesus came to do for you. That you may know Jesus as your Savior and know Him more fully is Lloyd-Jones's desire as he shares in these messages from the book of Acts the basic truths of genuine Christianity. About this Series The book of Acts is filled with some of the most powerful accounts in the New Testament. The birth of the church. The coming of the Holy Spirit. Bold preaching and dramatic missionary journeys.

Book 2
How did a handful of ignorant and unlearned people become such a mighty force that they turned the great Roman Empire upside down? It was the power of the gospel message that changed the hearts of the New Testament believers, giving them a new life, a new strength, and a new start. They were emboldened by a truth they knew they had to share, regardless of the persecution and trials that would come their way. And just as the world rejected Christianity then, it continues to do so today--except that people now believe they are being clever and modern in renouncing this "antiquated notion." Martyn Lloyd-Jones demonstrates how the characteristics of the first persecution and unbelief account precisely for the rejection that so marks our present time. Through these powerful sermons on Acts 4 and 5, you will see the utter hopelessness and tragedy of a world desperately in trouble, yet refusing the one truth that can save it. And with the greater understanding that you'll gain, you'll be able to speak directly to people's need as you courageously share the message of Christianity. About this Series The book of Acts records some of the most powerful events in the New Testament.

Book 3
We are told that Christianity is simply out-of-date, ridiculous, and foolish. Our answer is the same as that of the apostles to the Sanhedrin. It is the only answer we can give. The Gospel is an invincible message of redemption, one that the apostles believed was more important than their freedom, or even their lives. The fifth and sixth chapters of Acts relate a wonderful manifestation of the power of God through these believers as they witnessed to the resurrection and lived their lives in obedience to the faith. In this third volume of the Studies in the Book of Acts series, Martyn Lloyd-Jones explores the growth of the church in Acts 5:17-6:9. Peter and the apostles' speech to the Sanhedrin reveals the true nature of the Christian church and the Christian message. The apostles' choice to concentrate on preaching and prayer shows the primary purpose of the church. Stephen's bold confrontation with the Jews of the Dispersion testifies to the empowering, directing Spirit. Accept Lloyd-Jones's challenge to know for yourself the glory of the power of the Lord as He was preached by the early church.

Book 4
Stephen's sermon in Acts 7 is used to diagnose the objections of an unbelieving world toward Christianity. This book will encourage and help readers to break through the barrier of sin to reach people with the Kingdom of God.
Book 5
Lloyd-Jones demonstrates that without the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit, there can be no triumph in the Christian life. He provides a strongly biblical response to the ever more prevalent unbelief we see around us.
Book 6
Acts 8 chronicles some of the historical heights and valleys of the early church. While believers mourn Stephen's death and Saul seeks to ravage the church, the gospel message is spreading into regions beyond Jerusalem, and many are coming to faith in Christ. In the sixth and final volume of Studies in the book of Acts, Lloyd-Jones works from this essential truth, reminding us that there are compelling and vital reasons to consider Christianity even beyond the historical record. Exploring many issues that lie at the heart of the gospel, such as the empowering work of the Holy Spirit and the all-encompassing purpose of Christ's death, Lloyd-Jones also speaks to the cultural deceptions that claim Christianity is nothing more than "a personal matter" or "just another teaching." Keeping other world religions in view, this classic work offers penetrating perspective as to how the Christian church and faith differ from all others, making the message of this book a particularly poignant one in today's pluralistic culture. The book of Acts records some of the most powerful events in the New Testament. The birth of the church. The coming of the Holy Spirit.
