Much more than being simply a book of history or the spreading of the gospel, Acts unveils the great transition from the Old Testament dispensation of the law to the New Testament dispensation of grace! We will consider the opening of the door of the gospel to the non-Jewish world as a landmark event in the history of God’s move (Acts 11:1-18).

Today Witness Lee looks at the spread of the gospel to Phoenicia, Cyprus and Antioch in Acts 11:19-30. In particular, we will consider the Lord’s further preparation of Saul of Tarsus as a chosen vessel to bring the New Testament ministry to the gentiles, and how the ministries of Peter and Paul demonstrate the principle of one stream or flow in God’s work.
Acts 12 records the inspiring story of Peter’s miraculous escape from prison and provides the final account of Peter’s ministry in Acts. Witness Lee explores why this parenthetical chapter was inserted by Luke, details the invisible spiritual battle between God and Satan, and the significance of the word of God growing and multiplying (Acts 12:24).

In Acts 1:5 the Lord told the disciples that they would be baptized with the Holy Spirit. This event - occurring exactly two times in the New Testament - has been debated, promoted and profoundly misunderstood. In this week’s highlight programme, Witness Lee expounds Acts 10:34-48 covering Peter’s message to those gathered in the house of Cornelius, the Gentile believer’s baptism in the Holy Spirit and water baptism in the house of Cornelius.
