Acts of the Apostles
We have just completed our journey through the Acts of the Apostles. We tackled the journey from Jerusalem to Rome in three parts:
How fantastic to be reminded of the continuing ministry of the ascended Lord Jesus, through the power of the Holy Spirit – transforming lives; extending the Kingdom of God through the known world of the 1st century.
