Acts 2:14-41

The Spirit came, but not only at Pentecost. He hovered over the waters in the first chapter of Genesis and breathed life into man in the second.

Join Dr. James Boice on The Bible Study Hour as he reveals the nature and the power of the Spirit of God in the life of the believer.

How do I share Jesus with my neighbor? How do I get my roommate to see her need for Christ? These are relevant questions Christians ask about Jesus’ command to tell others about Him. Join Dr. James Boice on The Bible Study Hour as he answers the common question, “I know what I should do, but how do I go about doing it?”
