Equipped for Mission: A Study of Acts 13-28

The story of Acts didn't end in Rome. The same Spirit who sent Paul still equips ordinary Christians to carry the gospel, and the mission continues through us.

Equipped for Mission: A Study of Acts 13–28 is a 12-lesson Bible study workbook by Matthew Allen in the Growth Tracks series. It follows the apostle Paul from Antioch to Rome and shows how God equips His people for mission.

How This Study Helps

Many Christians read Acts as history and miss that it's also a call. They believe in sharing the gospel but feel unprepared, timid, or unsure what their part is. The second half of Acts shows the gospel breaking new ground through people who faced the same fears, and it shows how God strengthened them.

This study takes you through those chapters with clear teaching and a steady focus on discipleship. You'll see how God equipped the early church through worship, courage, suffering, leadership, and perseverance, and how He gives believers today the same Spirit and the same purpose. Discussion questions, key truths, memory verses, and weekly challenges help you step into that mission with confidence.
