And there arose on that day a great persecution against the church in Jerusalem, and they were all scattered throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles. (Acts 8:1 ESV)
Do you fear that persecution for your faith might happen to you? How does that make you feel about the future? What would that do to your desire to communicate about Christ to those around you?
This week, we will take a look at Act 8. Jesus had told his disciples that they were going to be his megaphones to the world. It would begin in Jerusalem and ripple out from there. So far Jerusalem had been rocked. But what about the rest of the world? With the strain of persecution, we find them forced to head out of town. And along the way, the gospel impacts some pretty unusual individuals. Come this week and hear how messy evangelism can be, but how we have the privilege to communicate his message.
