LIFE UNSTOPPABLE: Unstoppable Horizon

After Stephen was martyred, great persecution broke out in Jerusalem. This scattered the believers throughout Judea and Samaria. At the very beginning of Acts, Jesus tells his disciples that they will carry the good news out beyond their comfortable horizons, to Judea and Samaria and to the ends of the earth. It’s time to explore sharing beyond our comfortable horizons and let God’s mission take us to new people.
