Joe: Alright, so today we have a Bible expert on the show to talk about the Bible chapter by chapter. Let's start off with Acts 1.

Expert: Sure, Acts 1 is an interesting chapter because it marks the transition from Jesus' ministry on earth to the beginning of the work of the disciples and the spread of the gospel. The chapter begins with Jesus giving instructions to his disciples shortly before his ascension into heaven. He tells them to wait for the Holy Spirit to come upon them and to go out into the world and preach the gospel.

Joe: Wow, so the Holy Spirit is what empowers the disciples to do their ministry?

Expert: Yes, exactly. Jesus also tells them that they will receive power and be witnesses to the world.

Joe: That's incredible. So, what happens after Jesus ascends into heaven?

Expert: Well, the disciples return to Jerusalem and go to the upper room where they pray and wait for the Holy Spirit to come upon them.

Joe: Gotcha. What happens next?

Expert: Well, the chapter ends with the disciples being filled with the Holy Spirit and being given the power to do their ministry. They then go out into the world and preach the gospel and perform many miracles, signs, and wonders.

Joe: Wow, so the power of the Holy Spirit is what enables them to do all these things?

Expert: Yes, exactly. The Holy Spirit is the source of power and strength for the disciples to do the work of ministry.
