Acts Bible Study Chapter 21&22: The colonel came up to Paul, arrested and ordered him to be bound with chains. He enquired who Paul was and what he had been doing. When Paul got to the steps he was carried by the soldiers... for the people followed, shouting, “Kill him!” (Acts 21)
Full of the Holy Spirit and Power
Acts Bible Study Chapter 6&7: These chapters are significant because they illustrate the challenges faced by the early Christian community, the importance of serving all members of the community, and the courage and faith of individuals like Stephen, who remained steadfast in their beliefs even in the face of persecution and death. Additionally, Stephen's speech in Acts 7 provides a concise summary of Israel's history, emphasising God's continual pursuit of His people despite their repeated disobedience.

The persecution of the early church caused the greatest missionary revival ever seen. Without this persecution, the early church would’ve stayed in Jerusalem, instead it compelled it to go into all the world.
