0:00.0	Christ's command to his followers before his ascension to heaven was for them to be his
0:12.5	witnesses in Jerusalem, all Judea, in Samaria, and to the uttermost part of the earth.
0:20.0	Our Lord did not intend for the good news of his death and resurrection to stay local,
0:26.0	but instead it was to be taken globally.
0:29.8	In this third section of Acts, the adventure continues as the gospel is taken to the ends of the earth.
0:41.3	Let's join Scott Pauley now for today's study.
0:52.3	People remember how you start and how you finish, how you come, and how you go. And through the years, I've observed that more people quit near the end than any other time.
0:59.8	I don't know why that is, but so many start well, stay well for a while, and then falter near the finish line.
1:05.9	And I think Acts 28, verse number 31, is one of the greatest verses in the Bible to encourage us to finish strong for

1:46.1	There is no benediction. Did you notice that in the book of Acts? Unlike the other New Testament books, there's no amen, there's no signing off. Why is
1:52.8	that? Because this was just the commencement of 2,000 plus years of church history, but the church
2:00.1	is still advancing. The gospel is still
2:02.2	moving to the ends of the earth. The Holy Spirit is reminding us that he's continuing to work.
2:09.0	Oh, praise God for this. We give a lot of attention to the first chapter of Acts. I think we need
2:12.7	to give a little more attention to the last chapter of the book of Acts because there is no summation, no conclusion,
2:19.0	no amen, no farewell. The last chapter is still being written right now in the annals of history
2:25.6	in heaven. The Lord, the great record keeper. And what should we be doing? The same thing Paul was
