Why are Believers Persecuted? Acts 9:1-19
August 15, 2021
Preacher: Pastor Bob Popma
Series: Acts: To the ends of the Earth
Passage: Acts 9:1-19
Service Type: Sermon

Saul's threats and conversion help us understand why God allows and uses persecution to grow His church. While never pleasant when we understand why it happens we'll be more equipped to handle it when it does and how to minister to our persecutors as well.
