River Valley Church SOAP -Part 1Egzanp

The Jerusalem Council met to determine how Gentile believers should be instructed regarding their faith in relation to Jewish traditions. Paul continued ministry throughout a number of cities, ministering first to the Jews in the synagogue and then to the Gentiles who were open to hear the Gospel. The Church is expanding. With the growth came more persecution, especially for Paul. The Jewish religious leaders were constantly looking for opportunities to discredit him and have him arrested.
