THE WITNESS OF THE CHURCH IN JUDEA AND SAMARIA 18:23 – 21:16
The Orchestrated Power of the Progressive Witness of the ChurchActs
Fourteen weeks into Semester… Our twelfth time together Hope you had a great week

Acts 16:6 – 18:22;
Then we continue to engage in: Acts 18:23-20:1 “Ephesus: 3rd Missionary Journey
Begins.”

• then Luke’s second work in the book of Acts was to communicate about the Holy Spirit’s work in the lives and activities of the apostles in the early church – what the Holy Spirit continued to do.
