Stephen had been stoned for preaching the Gospel. Saul continued to persecute the church, scattering them throughout the world, but they ...read more

    In all this we see that the fruit of revival is more revival, the opening of hearts for both the preaching and receiving of the gospel. That was the case at this time in Samaria. There was a great revival going on.
