    Any power militating against a true child of God is looking for problems. Such a power wants to sink into the red sea after the order of Pharaoh. It is also seeking to be destroyed by God's anger after the order of Senacherib.

    LORD, BEHOLD THEIR THREATENING Dr. D. K. Olukoya In Acts 4, the apostles had been pushed around. They had been warned not to preach in the name of Jesus. Then in verse 29, they started praying, "And now, Lord, behold their threatening and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may ...read more

    What Do We Do When Control Is Taken Away?

    Contributed by Doug Koehler on May 2, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,793 views

    We like to be in control, some of us need to be in control but, when that control is taken away by sinful man or others, we need to look to the one who is always in full control.

    Acts 4:23-33 I suspect that most all of the conflicts and battles of life boil down to issues of control. Republicans want control of the congress and Democrats don’t want to give it up. Israelis want to control Palestinians and Palestinians resist. Sunnis and Shiites fight for control of Iraq. ...read more

    Introduction Once upon a time, an atheist lived in a small town. The atheist wasn’t a bad man, he just didn’t believe. He wasn’t interested in church… and there was only one in the area. It was cold and dead. More of a social club for the deceased. One day the church building caught on fire. The ...read more

    The early church was exemplary. They relied upon the power and grace of the Lord Jesus, and in concerted prayer experience victory in a harsh environment. They expressed their love for God by a sincere love for people, in meeting everyone’s needs.

    This passage provides a picture of a great church. • We see the unity of the people, a passion for God’s Kingdom, the courage to preach His Word, the power of God manifesting in miracles, and on and on. • This is what we are striving for as a church.
