Stephen does it in Acts 7. And Paul also does it in Acts 13. Peter makes several references to it throughout the book of Acts.

They summarize God's story for the people listening to them.
They start in Genesis, continue through Exodus, and retell much of God's redemptive work through people- both those 'in' God's family and those 'outside' God's family.
As Hillcrest continues The Story, and I read through Acts, I'm (again) reminded of how important it is to know God's story from start to finish.
For the early apostles, God's story was a starting point. And it can still be one today.
