Acts 8:1-8; Ps 66; John 6:35-40

Facing difficulties

Things have changed for the Christians and they are beginning to be persecuted. They were scattered and Saul is trying to crush this movement. Yet in this crisis people continue to preach the word and miracles occur. That is the power of the experience of Christ and the conviction that flows from it. Often for us it is the apathy of others which can crush us. How alive is my faith and how do I witness to Christ in challenging circumstances?
