In this overview given by Steve Gregg, the book of Acts is presented as a valuable account of the early spread of the gospel, particularly beyond Israel, and serves as a link between the gospels and the epistles. The community life of the early church is highlighted, with a focus on their preaching outside of formal meetings and the strong sense of community and mutual concern among members. The book of Acts is credited with providing evidence for the resurrection of Christ and the continuation of his miraculous ministry through the body of Christ, the church, making it a valuable resource for understanding the story of Jesus.
