Paul arrives in Rome. We can use Paul's life as proof that we, too, can live a life of "unhindered" faith and witness.
Description
The Book of Acts, like no other, provides us with an account of how a small group of frightened Jesus followers transformed into an empire-wide faith movement. Within three decades the message of Christianity spread from Jerusalem into the rest of the Roman Empire. The same gospel message, the same Spirit of power, and the same mission are still ours today.
Join women of all ages as together we dig deep to find the roots of faith that have kept the church growing for two thousand years. Each week, you’ll discover fresh insights through personal study, large group teaching, and small group discussion. Discover what faith in the death and resurrection of Jesus can produce in a heart through the power of the Holy Spirit and the decision to obey.
There is also an option for joining the study online on the New Castle Bible Church Women's Bible Study Facebook page.
