Manage episode 396239373 series 3462551
Happy New Year, and welcome to the year 2024! In this exciting episode, we delve into the transformative power of the Holy Spirit. We witness how the Holy Spirit helped overcome internal biases among some Jewish believers after Gentiles were granted the same Holy Spirit. The hearts and minds of the people are changed, and they begin to see their faith in a new and inclusive light.
We also witness how the Holy Spirit worked through the Son of Encouragement, Barnabas, to launch Paul into ministry. They spent a year together in Antioch, holding meetings and teaching the believers. As a result of their efforts, the disciples were first called Christians there.
