The Light Of Life Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Aug 25, 2004

the light of the gospel impacted on Saul in a way that would lead in the end to the gospel being proclaimed all the way to Rome, to the centre of the Roman Empire, in fact in the Emperor’s palace itself.

[In fact let’s listen to them now.] First Stephen retells the story of the Jewish people and the members of ...read more
