The Early Church Leaders Leader Kit includes a Bible Study Book and a DVD with six 10- to 13-minute video teaching sessions. The Kit also includes a code for access to additional resources through Wordsearch Bible. Every person in the Bible is a supporting actor in God's story—each revealing who God is and what His will is for human beings both then and now. In these characters, we see a glimpse of ourselves, coming to understand our failings, our potential, and God's purpose through it all.The Early Church Leaders is the final volume of the Characters series. See how the early church forms, flourishes, and eventually disperses on mission. In this volume, you will gain courage from the story of Stephen, perseverance and mission through the story of Paul, encouragement from the story of Barnabas, resolve to continue on through the story of Timothy, and more. These early church leaders not only demonstrate life among the people of God but also how to be faithful witnesses in an increasingly hostile culture. Session topics: 1.
