Ep 102. Acts Chapters 12-14: Paul's First Journey (Women's Bible Study)

Our Women's Bible Study continues this week in the book of Acts as we look at Acts chapters 12-14. 

We learn of the Apostle James' execution by the hand of Herod Agrippa. The Apostle Peter is imprisoned and most likely faces the same fate, but is rescued by an Angel of the Lord.

Herod Agrippa meets his fate and is struck down by another visitation from an Angel of the Lord; he wastes away and is gruesomely eaten by worms.

Back in Antioch, Paul and Barnabas are commissioned for a special work from the Holy Spirit.

Working their way through Cypress and up through Galatia, Paul begins to understand the truth behind "I will show him how much he must suffer for my name," from Acts 9:12 when he is stoned and left for dead in Lystra. 

Acts Chapters 13-14 cover a time span of roughly 1 1/2 years. The Lord uses this trip to prepare him for longer upcoming trips where he will face more persecution.

We are working our way through the Book of Acts in this Bible Study for women. But not just for women, it's great for Beginners Bible Study; it's a great Busy Mom Bible Study; it's a wonderful Teen Bible Study. God's Word is amazing, and we are on a journey to discover all of it's treasures that He will reveal to us.
