Sleepy Scriptures One-Year Bible | Week 13: Part 1 | Acts 7–14 — To the Ends of the Earth

In this calming episode of the Sleepy Scriptures One-Year Bible, you’re invited to settle in with a gentle reading of Acts chapters 7 through 14 from the King James Version, accompanied by soft, relaxing music to quiet your thoughts and prepare your heart for rest.
These chapters trace the powerful spread of the Gospel beyond Jerusalem. We hear Stephen’s faithful testimony and see the Church scattered—yet strengthened—through persecution. As the Holy Spirit continues to guide the believers, the message of Christ reaches new cities and nations through signs, preaching, and perseverance.
Along the way, we witness Saul’s dramatic conversion, the calling of Paul and Barnabas, and the growing joy of both Jews and Gentiles who receive the good news. Again and again, we are reminded that God’s purposes advance not by human strength alone, but through faith, obedience, and the Spirit’s power.
