Bobservations' Column - "The Safety of Samaria"

DRAW ME CLOSE is the Bible Teaching Ministry of Whitestone Christian Fellowship, taught by Pastor Bob Lawrenz. We pray that the audio bible teachings will bless and encourage you in your Christian walk. It is our desire that you draw ever so close to our Savior, our Redeemer and Lord. "Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord."  ⁠⁠⁠⁠Colossians 3:16⁠⁠⁠⁠The Bobservations' Column is written each week by Pastor Bob Lawrenz, and correlates to our weekly Sunday Morning teachings.

Following the martyrdom of Stephen, a great persecution scatters believers from Jerusalem throughout Judea and Samaria. What began as a tragedy becomes the catalyst for fulfilling Jesus’s command in Acts 1:8 to take the Gospel "to the ends of the earth."
