God hasn't called us merely to start the Christian life, He has called us to finish our course, fight the good fight, and keep the faith. Through the example of Paul and the finished work of Christ, this message challenges us to make ourselves available to God, stand against the world and our flesh, and determine that no matter what comes our way, we're going to finish.

Psalms 144:15 "Happy is that people, that is in such a case: yea, happy is that people, whose God is the LORD."

This Bible Study examines the rapid growth of the early church and the opposing forces it encountered, highlighting how God's Word continued to spread despite persecution. It details Gamaliel's counsel to the Sanhedrin, who recognized that opposing a movement from God is futile, leading them to spare the apostles after flogging them. The apostles responded to suffering with joy, remaining steadfast in their witness while the church faced internal challenges regarding the neglect of Hellenistic widows. In response, the believers delegated administrative duties to seven men of good reputation, allowing the apostles to focus on prayer and the ministry of the Word. This structural adjustment resulted in further expansion of the faith, even among the priests, demonstrating that unity and obedience to God ensure the gospel's unstoppable advance.
