While the resources provided on this page are useful for assisting in your personal study of the Book of Acts, Wayside does not endorse the theology of some of the websites publishing these resources. Ultimately everything you read in these links should be compared to Scripture. The believers in Berea give an excellent example of this behavior in Acts 17:11 as they received the Apostles’ teaching and examined the Scriptures daily to verify if these new teachings were true.
