Today we conclude the reading of the Acts of the Apostles, and begin the Old Testament book of Numbers.

Despite hard drive problems at the studio, and the resulting lack of music on this episode, we read today about Paul’s defense in front of King Agrippa, and a voyage gone wrong.

Paul gives a defense and raises a ruckus!

Paul stirs things up in his travels, causing the Jewish leaders no end of consternation.

Paul continues to plant churches on his journeys.

Paul and Silas are thrown in prison and a miracle ensues.

Paul’s first missionary journey sees both success and persecution.

Very, very long day, so no extra commentary. More tomorrow. Thanks for understanding!

We hear more about the early church, including Saul on the road to Damascus.

We read of Stephen, the first Christian martyr. Why was he stoned to death? Listen to find out. Music: Mark Steven Brocke…”Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing”
