Growth and Persecution

Scripture:



Acts 3 and 4




Synopsis:



The Believers, under the power of the Holy Spirit, acted powerful and boldly. A man who had been lame from birth was healed. Peter preached the gospel to those who were astonished by this. Peter and John were taken before The Council (the religious leaders of the day who yielded much power) and were threatened by them - but they still refused to stop telling people about Jesus. THEN they prayed for boldness! They wanted more! Most of all, though, in this passage we see the Church operating in unity, caring for one another, loving one another, and serving one another!




Spark:



Unity, being of one heart and mind, breeds the natural result of love and sharing. It also empowers our witness and attracts others to the faith.



Are you walking in unity with others in the body of Christ? How can you take steps to restore a fractured relationship? Seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit and then do what He directs you to do in pursuit of unity with His children!
