You Can’t Arrest a Revolution – Acts 4:1-22
We continue into Acts this week with the account of Peter and John arrested for healing a man and proclaiming Jesus. They rejected the authority of the religious and refused to be silenced. What motivated this reaction? Let’s talk about this example and what it means today.
Figure It Out – Acts 1
Life can be unsettling and the future intimidating. The disciples watched Jesus float away in Acts 1. Then they had to figure out what to do next based on his last instructions. Let’s learn from them together.
Bold Steps
Do you ever feel a little stuck? How about a lot stuck? As we seek God he wants us to grow and even multiply. This journey can seem overwhelming when you’re stuck but getting unstuck starts with a single step. Let’s talk about taking steps together, starting where you are.
