The gospel on the move.

Acts tells the story of an unstoppable gospel, and Paul's second journey is one of its boldest chapters. From Philippi to Thessalonica to Athens to Corinth, the message of Jesus crossed borders, languages, and cultures, and the early church kept growing.

Across eight Sundays we followed Paul on the road, through opposition and opportunity, and asked what his courage and conviction mean for the way we carry the gospel today.
