Ray Bentley, Acts 4:1-22 / September 6, 2020
Study notes: https://www.maranathachapel.org/s/ActsNotes090620.pdf
Peter preached with boldness and power! Four lessons in witnessing for Jesus: 1) God is long suffering with lost sinners. The leaders of Israel already rejected John the Baptist, and Jesus, yet God gave them another opportunity to repent and be saved! 2) reach the masses by helping the infdividual. Peter and John won the crippled beggar and his transformed life led to another 2,000 souls saved! 3) Wherever God Blesses, Satan opposes. 4) Preach with the power of the Holy Spirit. 4) May people perceive that you have been with Jesus. Because disciples had been with Jesus, they were naturally bold. We have no idea how greatly God can use us if we will just be faithful.
