The Early Church: Moving On

The Early Church: Moving On

Acts 19: 1-10. 30/6/19 Over the last few weeks we have been looking at Paul’s missionary journeys and how the early church spread. We have seen that Paul never worked alone, and it is important for us to see that we were never meant to live our life, our faith, alone, that we are to have people that we can trust to help and support us and whom we can help and support.
