Hour of Prayer | Tara Hayes, Isaac Depew | Ep. 71

Introduction to The Book of Acts | Tara Hayes, Matthew Goldstine | Ep. 72

This week, West Park began a new sermon series through The Book of Acts. In this episode, Tara and Matthew discuss why the preaching team chose to walk through Acts, how much of the book will be covered, the historical context, and some of the major themes we’ll see throughout the series. As we study Acts together, our prayer is that we would not simply gain more knowledge, but that we would be challenged to live as bold and faithful witnesses of Christ in our everyday lives.
