Ben Collings | Acts 8:1-8 | 3/19/2017 As Stephen's life comes to a close and Saul's persecution of Jesus's followers shifts into high gear, we wonder, 'What will happen to the Church?' In Acts 8 we find a surprising answer; the Church isn't snuffed out, instead it is sent out to transform and bring joy to Judea and Samaria through the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
