Church Online | 18 October 2026 | Book of Acts: The Church Spreads Through Persecution

We're continuing our Book of Acts series this year, and this Sunday, Ps Tim will be sharing The Church Spreads Through Persecution, based on Acts 8:1–8. When fierce opposition broke out against the early church, it seemed like the end of the movement. Believers were persecuted, homes were invaded, and families were scattered. Yet, what was intended for destruction became an opportunity for God’s purposes to advance. As we explore this passage, we’ll discover how persecution, rather than silencing the gospel, caused it to spread even further. We’ll see how God can use opposition to ignite courageous faith and bold preaching in ordinary believers, ultimately bringing deep and unshakeable joy even in the midst of difficult circumstances. Join us as we reflect on how God continues to work through every situation to accomplish His purposes.
