Acts 18:23 - 21:16

Teacher: Won Huh

Next week, we read about Paul’s third missionary journey, about 2500 miles through Asia Minor and Europe – about half of that on land by foot and half by sea.

There were a couple of discussions about receiving the baptism of John vs. being baptized by the Holy Spirit. What was that all about? Were there any differences? Is one better than the other? Which baptism have you received?

Why was Paul so stubbornly determined to go to Jerusalem even though the Holy Spirit was telling him directly and through the warnings of his fellow believers that he would face imprisonment and hardship there?
