Acts 16-28

February – April 2026

This 9 week series explores the rapid growth and spread of the early Christian movement after the death, resurrection and ascension of Jesus.

We pick up the story in chapter 16, after the Jerusalem Council, where it has been agreed that Gentiles and Jews can be followers of Jesus together.

From city to city, news of Jesus spreads quickly, churches are planted, and the hope of Jesus reaches Rome, the centre of the empire.
