Week Five Study Insights Discussion
My first insight for Study #9 begins with “The Book of Acts often called “The Witness Book” which I have never heard stated that way nor had I paid any attention to the number of times the word witness appeared in the Book of Acts.

He knew the master teacher and the master evangelist who preached with power and authority on a personal and intimate basis. There was none like Him and there will never be any to match His matchless evangelistic
