This week we'll look at Acts chapter 14, which completes the account of Paul's first missionary journey. On this journey many people put their faith in Christ and churches are established. There is also opposition to the gospel, and Paul is nearly murdered for preaching. We will see that we can and should trust in the Holy Spirit; we should remain faithful to God even in hard times; and we should...

In one town Peter healed a paralyzed man, and witnesses of this miracle turned to Jesus. In the next town Peter raised a woman from the dead, and more people...
