Faith in Crisis
October 29, 2021
Today we will continue our study through the book of Acts and chapter four . This was a time of great growth in the early Christian church, and two of the leaders of that early church, Peter and John, had been arrested for preaching the Gospel. The reaction they see when they are released and return to their church is another example of the Holy Spirit’s presence.

In Acts chapter four, we find Peter and John before the religious authorities, accused of saying things that were quite contrary to the accepted teaching of the time. But Peter and John were defiant, they were on fire for the Lord, and they were filled with the Holy Spirit. What a great example for Christians today

Have you ever experienced something and later realized you’d been set up? That’s exactly what’s about to happen to Peter and John.

Today, we’ll wrap up a message dealing with the final verses of the second chapter of Acts. Here’s the scenario: Peter is giving a dynamite sermon about the power and the glory of Jesus Christ, and those who heard the sermon clearly amazed.

We’re currently surveying the Book of Acts, and we’ll be looking at the first several verses of chapter two today.
