The Holy Spirit Builds the Early Church: Audio Bible Stories from the New Testament
The last chapters of the gospels and the Book of Acts tell the exciting story of how Jesus' followers spread his message to people everywhere, even when they faced danger. God gave them courage and power with the Holy Spirit through miracles, journeys, and challenges. The significance of the historical events in Acts shows how God's love reached the world—and how we can share it today!
We’ve assembled 10 dramatized audio Bible stories to tell the story of these fantastic events. Your children can listen to “The Holy Spirit Builds the Early Church” stories right here on our website or on your favorite podcast platform.
