Spreading The Good News in The City | Acts 8:1-13 (ESV)
What obstacles are we facing in a nation where there is no persecution? What are the visible and spiritual challenges that come against us? After Stephen was stoned to death (in ch. 7: 58-60), it led to a great persecution of the church in Jerusalem. But that great persecution was going to work for a greater good. God, in His sovereignty, was using difficult circumstances to spread the Gospel in the regions. No matter how difficult or dark, nothing can ultimately stop the Gospel from spreading. So, in this passage, we'll see that: a) The Gospel spreads despite opposition. b) The Gospel brings freedom in the city. c) The Gospel dispels darkness in the city.
