Acts of the Apostles | The Providence of God - Episode 55

In this episode, Pastor Dorrell further presents the imprisonment of the Apostle Paul and his testimony before Felix.

His first and primary identity was that of a Christian. His message was that of grace. It would be wise for Christians living in a politically charged world to take note. Our identity is Christ, and our message is grace. This message is however offensive to the world.
