The early Church faced tremendous challenges: Roman occupation. Extreme taxation. Government corruption. Cultural oppression. Persecution. Yet it thrived.  How? The key wasn't a plan. It was a person. The Holy Spirit. The same Holy Spirit that guided and empowered the early Church is with us and is available to us today.
