God With Us: Acts, Week 2

God With Us: Acts, Week 2 The Ministry in Jerusalem Acts 3-7 In the first phase, the apostles present the message of the crucified and risen Lord to their fellow countrymen in Jerusalem. After much conflict and persecution, the Jerusalem phase of ministry comes to a head with the testimony of Stephen, a young Jewish man who was a devout follower of Jesus. With his execution by stoning, it was as if the Jewish leaders were slamming the door on the apostolic re-offer of the gospel of forgiveness and redemption through the crucified and risen Savior/Messiah Jesus. This message is part of our God With Us series where Pastor Bob walks us through the entire Bible.
