Understanding the Early Church in Acts: Lessons for Today
Join Matt and Tina in this episode of the 'Step into Scripture' podcast as they walk through the 47th week of their year-long journey through the Bible using the Blue Letter Chronological Bible Reading Plan. This week, they dive into Acts 9-16, the book of James, and the book of Galatians, focusing on what these readings reveal about the early church. They discuss the shift from Peter to Paul's ministry, the role of the Holy Spirit, the structure and growth of the early church, and the various leadership roles that contributed to its health. They also address modern-day challenges and how the church today can remain true to the principles of the early church. Tune in for a detailed exploration of what it means to be a Holy Spirit-filled church.
