Podcast Overview

Who wrote the Book of Acts? What is the Book of Acts about? How did a small group of disciples in Jerusalem become a movement that turned the world upside down? In Acts Explained, Dr. Toby Holt provides a rigorous, verse-by-verse exposition of the Book of Acts, tracing the sovereign expansion of Christ’s Kingdom and the vital work of the Holy Spirit. As the Scripture records: "But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth." (Acts 1:8, NKJV) Drawing from the historical Reformed tradition—echoing the exegesis of John Calvin R.C. Sproul and others—this series examines the theological weight of Pentecost, the birth of the church, and the missionary journeys of the Apostles. This is not merely a history lesson; it is the account of the Risen Christ continuing His work on earth through His redeemed people. Speaker: Dr. Toby Holt Dr. Toby Holt is the President of New Geneva Theological Seminary. Dr. Holt's sermons have reached over 1.9 million listeners on SermonAudio. He focuses on clear, verse-by-verse teaching that makes the Bible easy to understand. Support New Geneva: To support Dr. Holt's ministry, please visit: newgeneva.org/give.
