Acts: Life On Mission - Week 10 - Persecution is Coming

In Week 10 of Acts: Life on Mission, we explore the powerful message, “Persecution is Coming”. As we walk through Acts 8, we see how the early church faced fierce opposition after Stephen's death and how God used this persecution to expand the reach of the gospel. Pastor [Name] reminds us that following Jesus means facing challenges, but God calls us to stay committed, letting our light shine in the darkness.

Key Takeaways:

• Expect Persecution – 2 Timothy 3:12: Living a godly life invites opposition, but it strengthens our faith and mission.
• Stay on Mission – Matthew 5:14-16: Jesus calls us to be lights in the world, offering hope and guidance.
• Shine Brightly in a Dark World – Be intentional in prayer and action, spreading God’s love.
