Seeing the Lord in the Scattering

from Enjoying the Journey · host Scott Pauley

(Acts 8:1-5) There is a difference between God’s “scattering” (like sowing seed) and Satan’s destructive scattering. From Stephen’s martyrdom to the scattering of the early church, we can see how the gospel moves forward even through suffering and upheaval. Following Christ often brings opposition, but persecution historically has expanded the reach of the gospel. Be a servant where God has placed you, because every believer can play a part in advancing the gospel.
