S7E1 · Run! The Passion of Elijah

As the gospel of Jesus spread across a Gentile world unfamiliar with the teachings and culture of the Jews, the early church faced an interesting challenge – meeting different cultures in their own context to demonstrate the redeeming power of the kingdom of God. Follow the early believers through the Roman city of Aphrodisias in modern-day Turkey and see firsthand the effectual nature of cultural metaphor in communicating the good news. Scripture References: 1 Corinthians 9:24, 2 Timothy 4:7, Galatians 5:7, Hebrews 12:12 Locations: Aphrodisias, Turkey
