The ENTIRE Story of the Book of Acts: How the Gospel Reached the Heart of Rome (Documentary)

Follow the complete biblical story of Acts as the risen Jesus’ witnesses carry the gospel from Jerusalem to the heart of Rome. Based on Acts 1–28, this documentary traces the movement’s full canonical journey, beginning with the ascension of Jesus and the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. The story follows Peter, Stephen, Philip, Paul, and the growing church as they face persecution, imprisonment, internal conflict, and deep cultural barriers. It explores the spread of the gospel through Judea and Samaria, Paul’s dramatic conversion and missionary journeys, the Jerusalem Council, and the difficult road that places Paul in Roman custody. Along the way, public trials, violent opposition, dangerous travel, and a devastating shipwreck reveal how the mission advances through circumstances that appear certain to stop it. The documentary ends where the biblical text ends: Paul remains in rented custody in Rome, welcoming visitors and teaching about Jesus Christ with boldness and without hindrance. Later traditions about the apostles are distinct from the conclusion recorded in Acts.
