INTRODUCTION:

Our study theme - "Background jewels" will be a consideration of New Testament characters who sparkle in the background of the activities of the early Church. It was not given to them to be the main gems which adorned the Church of Jesus Christ; nevertheless, their charm and wondrous sparkle deserve closer examination. The outline form used lends itself to your personal development of the truths dealt with.

May we, under the blessing of the Holy Spirit, in contentment shine brightly for Jesus in the everyday events of life.
