Acts - God Uses Hardship

The early Church faced tremendous challenges: Roman occupation. Extreme taxation. Government corruption. Cultural oppression. Persecution. Yet it thrived. 

How?

The key wasn't a plan. It was a person. The Holy Spirit.

The same Holy Spirit that guided and empowered the early Church is with us and is available to us today. For the next 8 weeks, we will be immersing ourselves in the book of Act and getting to know the Holy Spirit better.
