Acts 14:1-28


We're continuing today in our series called ''Unstoppable,'' from the book of Acts. Last year we did the first 13 chapters of the book of Acts under the heading ''Unfinished.'' We're picking that series up as we look through chapters 13-28. These focus on the life, ministry and mission trips of the Apostle Paul, which we've placed under the heading ''Unstoppable.''
