The Game Plan. I will be reading through the Bible through this year of 2011; little by little, chapter by chapter. I have always wanted to do this but have never committed to do so. This is me making a commitment.

Acts 1-3

Acts 1
Jesus promises the Holy Spirit. Jesus ascends to heaven. Te disciples and Mary pray in the upper room. Matthias is chosen to replace Judas.

Acts 2
The Holy Spirit descends upon the disciples with divided youngest of fire on each of their heads. The disciples begin speaking in other tongues through the Spirit. Many hear the disciples speaking and realize they are speaking about the Lord in many languages. Many foreigners hear their own language and are amazed. Peter preaches to the crowd. They believe the disciples are drunk. Peter says they are witnessing the fulfillment of scripture. He speaks to them of Joel and David, and their prophesies about God sending His Spirit. When the people hear this they are, "cut to the heart" and asked what they should do. Peter tells them to repent and to be baptized in the name of Jesus for the remission on sins. Then they will receive the Holy Spirit. Peter continued to speak and about 3000 souls were added to the kingdom.

Act 3
Peter heals a lame man at the gate in the name of Jesus Christ. Peter preaches to those who gather after he healed the man. Peter says to not give him credit but the Father of whom they killed, Jesus.
