A New Church

 N.T.#828 "A New Church"

July 2, 2026 

Acts 4-Part 3

LET IT GLOW 

Peter and John were released and they returned to the other disciples together. The two told the group what had happened. It was a time of rejoicing, praying unto god in one accord, which was a thanksgiving prayer. 

The Sanhedrin and others may threaten them, but they can never defeat. "If God be for us, who can be against us?" (Romans 8:31) (Falwell)

How do we react when persecuted?

LET IT GROW 

How did the disciples pray?

They prayed with all boldness so they could speak God's Word and with heal i, show signs, and wonders done in the name of Jesus. (verses 29-30)

This first-century church was persecuted, Spirit-filled, powerful, and praying church. 

What happened next?

• The place where they were shook as with an earthquake when their prayer was offered up. 
• All were filled with the Holy Ghost.
• They spoke the Word of God with boldness.
• Each member of the Jerusalem church was interested in the welfare of each other member. 
• Houses and lands were sold in order to be distributed to those in need by the apostles. (verses 32-37)

What a loving and caring environment. 

LET IT GO

Show us Your will, Your way, Lord Jesus.

May we follow it.
