For the third week of our Acts study, Amanda talks with John Mark Comer, a bestselling author, executive director of Practicing the Way, and apprentice of Jesus from Portland, Oregon. Together, they look at what the early Church was like, how it grew, and the Holy Spirit’s work through God’s people. We hope you walk away with a renewed gratitude for Christ’s message of salvation—the good news that unites everyone, both Jews and Gentiles alike.
