The local church is God’s “missionary society” — the organization through which we work to spread the gospel.

Paul mentions the [...]

After being run out of town in Thessalonica, Paul was sent to Berea. Here he continued doing the very thing that had previously stirred up opposition against him – teaching the gospel (Acts 17:1-5,10).
