He Is Risen & His Church Is Born — Sleepy Scriptures One Year Bible | Week 12: Part 1 | John 20–21 & Acts 1–6

In this comforting episode of the Sleepy Scriptures One-Year Bible, you’re invited to rest as you listen to John chapters 20 and 21, followed by Acts chapters 1 through 6, read gently from the King James Version with soothing background music.
These passages carry us from the joy of Christ’s resurrection to the powerful beginnings of the early Church. In John, we hear Jesus’ tender words of peace to His disciples, His loving restoration of Peter, and the reassurance that believing brings life in His name. As the reading moves into Acts, we witness the ascension of Christ, the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, and the steady growth of a united, prayerful community of believers.
As the apostles boldly proclaim the risen Lord, the Church is formed through devotion, generosity, and grace. These chapters remind us that Christ is alive, present, and continuing His work through His people.
