"Next time someone says something dumb about how they don’t think they have to go to church to be a Christian, please remember these things. We are members of the body of Christ, if we don’t assemble as the church, in a church, to have church—we are dismembering ourselves. And dismembered body parts are gross."

"We're here to worship God and love people, not feel God and like people. No one ever said you had to feel close to God at church. Church isn’t about how you feel, it’s about worship and fellowship. It’s about being challenged to grow in our faith and comforted with the promises of the Gospel."

A dive into Acts 5:12-16, where we see the early church experiencing incredible signs and wonders. Join us as we explore the themes of healing, faith, and the bold witness of the apostles. We'll uncover how God's power was at work through the apostles and how these miraculous events continue to speak to us today.

Main Points:

    The Power of the Holy Spirit: Discover how the apostles performed many signs and wonders, demonstrating the Holy Spirit's power.
    Community and Fellowship: Learn about the importance of gathering together as believers, just like the early church in Solomon's Colonnade.
    Faith and Growth: See how more and more people believed in the Lord and were added to the number of believers.
    Healing and Miracles: Marvel at the miraculous healings that took place, even by Peter’s shadow.

Application:
We'll also discuss how these themes provide both comfort and challenge in our lives today. Whether you're seeking healing, longing for community, or wanting to grow in your faith, this message is for you. Let’s explore how we can live out our faith boldly and trust in God’s power in every area of our lives.

In this message, we explore the boldness of Peter and John as they stand before the Sanhedrin, and the unwavering courage of Dietrich Bonhoeffer as he faced the evils of Nazi Germany. Both stories illustrate what it means to be bold in our faith, to stand firm in the truth of the Gospel, and to trust in God's sovereignty.

Join us as we dive into Acts 4:13-31, where we witness the miraculous healing performed by Peter and John, their fearless testimony before the most powerful religious leaders in Israel, and the unshakeable faith that compelled them to say, "We cannot stop telling about everything we have seen and heard."

Drawing parallels to Bonhoeffer's courageous stand against Hitler, this message challenges us to examine our own lives. Are we listening to God rather than the voices of doubt and fear? Are we living out our faith boldly, with love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control?

Key Points:

  • Bold Faith: Understanding the courage of Peter, John, and Dietrich Bonhoeffer.
  • God’s Sovereignty: Trusting that God is in control, even in the darkest times.
  • The Role of the Holy Spirit: Being empowered to live out our faith with boldness.
  • Practical Application: Encouraging us to be bold in our daily walk with Christ.

And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need. And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved."
