Why Do We Suffer? (with Rev. Michael Lloyd)

How did a handful of ordinary people become ten thousand committed followers of Jesus in the year following his public execution? How did his movement gain so much momentum, especially as ten of the eleven charter members were crucified, burned, or stoned to death within a few decades? How did ten thousand Christians become one million by the second century? And how did one million become 3.3 billion today? Written in the middle of the first century, The Acts of the Apostles tells the story of how, despite facing serious persecution and hardship, Christianity spread like wildfire across the Roman Empire and beyond. For 25 weeks at The Story Church (September 10 through Easter 2024), we will journey through Acts in pursuit of the truth behind history’s most consequential movement.
