SNT 0201 Pentecost: Acts
Detail teaching which accurately covers the ascension and Pentecost. [May 14, 1967] Act 1:1, 2, 4 Luk 24:49-52; 6:13-16 Act 1:15(Act 1:16-25); Act 1:26, 3-5, 10, 11, 15 Act 1:5, 12, 13, 26 Luk 24:53; Act 2:1-4, 14, 7 Act 1:8; 2:4-8, 11 You people here in the auditorium turn to Acts, chapter one.
