We also are introduced to the first organized persecution against Christianity. This week we are going to look at 5 different aspects of this incident as recorded in Acts 4. Each one will help us face opposition as followers of Jesus in this polarizing season in our culture. Today, we review the context in which it all happened.Pursuing God with Gene Appel is designed to help you pursue God, build community, and unleash compassion.
