"The disciples were first called Christians in Antioch" (v. 26). The church in Antioch does seem to be a model to look toward in many ways. They had five preachers at one point, many converts, and were able to send charity to Christians elsewhere. Part of a series in chapters 8-12 of Acts.

The apostle Peter has a literal revelation: non-Jews are equal to Jews and worthy to be saved also. Part of a series in chapters 8-12 of Acts.

The apostle Peter heals two people in two different but nearby cities (Lydda and Joppa). In both cases, it seems that the church has spread there already and Peter is visiting existing converts. Part of a series in chapters 8-12 of Acts.

Imagine a foreign terrorist renouncing his ways and then becoming a senator in your country. This is basically the story of Saul (later named Paul). A man who eagerly sought and killed Christians literally sees the light and becomes one of the greatest heroes of the early church. Part of a series in chapters 8-12 of Acts.

A well-known conversion story in the book of Acts. An unnamed (but high-ranking) man from Ethiopia has a providential encounter with Phillip (the disciple from chapter 7). Part of a series in chapters 8-12 of Acts.
