Divine Disruptions - Acts 8:1-13 Lamont Ross, Senior Minister #DivineDisruptions Acts 8:1-5 (NASB) 1 Saul was in hearty agreement with putting him to death. And on that day a great persecution began against the church in Jerusalem, and they were all scattered throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles. 2 Some devout men buried Stephen, and made loud lamentation over him. Acts 8:1-5 (NASB) 3 But Saul began ravaging the church, entering house after house, and dragging off men and women, he would put them in prison. 4 Therefore, those who had been “You shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, even to the remotest part of the earth.” – Jesus Christ God uses disruptions to our normal as a catalyst for growth.
