In Acts 4, the early church experiences a boldness outbreak as Peter and John, former fisherman, stand before the high priest, the spiritual and political leader of the nation. Their qualification and authority? They had been with Jesus, and they spoke His name. Here’s a review of this remarkable chapter about unexpected opposition from the very leaders that were tasked with representing and promoting God’s kingdom, a respectful example of civil disobedience, and a contagious boldness that started with Peter and John and spread to the church.
Big Idea for the Series: The early church carried the gospel throughout the known world in approximately 30 years and transformed an empire in 3 centuries. Now the church seems intimidated, uncertain amidst swift cultural changes. So, what did the early Christians, commanded by Christ and empowered by the Holy Spirit, do that we are not doing? Here are their Acts, and may they inspire our own.
Outline:
- Odd Opposition
- The Best Seminary
- A Holy No
- A Boldness Outbreak
