0:00.0	Welcome to Enjoying the Journey with Evangelist Scott Pauli.
0:13.0	Today we are on a journey through Scripture.
0:16.0	We hope you'll join us as we make 66 stops through each book of the Word of God.
0:23.6	Some people have called it the fifth gospel.
0:40.5	It is called in our New Testament the book of Acts.
0:44.2	Some people have mistakenly said, well, it's the Acts of the Apostles,

1:35.7	man. And many people have surmised that Theophilus was a man that Luke led to Christ. And that
1:42.0	very likely he wrote the gospel record to explain to him who Christ was,
1:46.2	and then he wrote the book of Acts as another letter
1:48.6	to Theophilus to disciple him, to bring him along in the faith,
1:52.3	to engage him in the work of Christ.
1:55.3	But the emphasis of Acts is not on Luke who wrote it,
