They Tried to Stop Christianity… It Backfired - Acts 11:19-30 Bible Study

from Study and Obey · host Jason Dexter

They tried to stop Christianity by force. Arrests, threats, murder. Steven was killed. Believers were hunted down. The message was supposed to die. Believers were supposed to cower. But instead of stopping the movement, the gospel spread. Those who were scattered did not stop preaching. They took it with them to new areas, cities, regions, entire cultures started hearing about Jesus for the very first time. Every attempt to crush the church, not only in the book of Acts, but throughout history, has only made it grow faster.Why does persecution always backfire? And what does that mean for us today?We'll be looking at those questions as we study Acts 11:19-30.Acts 11 Bible study guide with companion discussion questions on our https://studyandobey.com/inductive-bible-study/acts/acts-11/Study and Obey's Bible study guides on Amazon -https://amzn.to/48SgPEN(As an Amazon associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.)Study and Obey Free Weekly Podcast on Apple - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/study-and-obey/id1571266150Our website of 800+ practical and free Bible studies - https://studyandobey.comSupport this ministry -https://studyandobey.com/support/25+ Bible study guides for individual or group study on many different books of the Bible - https://studyandobey.com/shop/Sign up for a weekly Bible study to your inbox. 20+ studies to choose from - https://studyandobey.com/weekly-bible-study/Support the show
