Unity Amidst the Storms
Description: This week, we look at how the early church went beyond its comfort zones through the Holy Spirit’s work in expanding the church. How can we break barriers and open our hearts to a diverse array of people, just as the early church began to include Gentiles, eunuchs, and other ‘outsiders’ under the guidance of the Spirit?
