Acts chapter four begins with a very tense moment. Two key
leaders of this still relatively small group of Jesus followers
have been arrested by the governing Temple officials. There is a
sudden pause in the enthusiasm for following Jesus as Peter and
John now have to stand in front of the power brokers of the
city.
In this pivotal moment for the first disciples, we pay close
attention to their response, but also their courageous decision to
press forward with the mission they have been given. These examples
help teach us a valuable lesson about how we are to respond when
life becomes difficult because of our allegiance to King
Jesus.
In this teaching, one of our elders, Jerry Anthony will continue
our sermon series To The Ends of the Earth by pointing out where
each of these Christians found their courage to carry on in the
face of adversity.
