Life Notes

“For we cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard.” - Acts 4:20

The church was growing. Certainly “the Lord was adding to their numbers daily,” but the church was growing in a deeper sense and this is what we look at in this series. They were beginning to understand through the Holy Spirit, through fellowship, through worship, through breaking of bread, through the apostles’ teaching and through prayer what they had been called through Christ to do. With that understanding there was action: powerful healing, jail time, confrontational witnessing and new leaders emerging. Peter and John were the leaders but they were prayed for, followed and helped by all the believers. Wow! Can this happen to us right now? Do we and will we speak out or have things changed?

June 21 - "Look at Us!"
Acts 3:4-6
“And Peter directed his gaze at him, as did John, and said, "Look at us." And he fixed his attention on them, expecting to receive something from them. But Peter said, "I have no silver and gold, but what I do have I give to you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk!"

June 28 - "And You Are Heirs!"
Acts 3:24-26
“Indeed, all the prophets from Samuel on, as many as have spoken, have foretold these days. And you are heirs of the prophets and of the covenant God made with your fathers. He said to Abraham, 'Through your offspring all peoples on earth will be blessed.' When God raised up his servant, he sent him first to you to bless you by turning each of you from your wicked ways.”

July 5 - Judge For Yourselves: Obey God, Obey Man?
Acts 4:18-20
“Then they called them in again and commanded them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus. But Peter and John replied, "Judge for yourselves whether it is right in God's sight to obey you rather than God. For we cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard."

July 12 - "Enable Your Servants to Speak Your Word with Great Boldness."
Acts 4: 24-31
“‘Now, Lord, consider their threats and enable your servants to speak your word with great boldness. Stretch out your hand to heal and perform miraculous signs and wonders through the name of your holy servant Jesus.’
After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly."

July 19 - Barnabas, Son of Encouragement
Acts 4:36- 37
“Thus Joseph, who was also called by the apostles Barnabas (which means son of encouragement), a Levite, a native of Cyprus, sold a field that belonged to him and brought the money and laid it at the apostles’ feet.”
