    What Do We Do When Control Is Taken Away?

    Contributed by Doug Koehler on May 2, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,827 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

    In Acts 4 we see a church alive and on fire. But it is also a church under attack. How did the first believers cope with opposition?

    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.

    The command to become poor for the Gospel’s sake is really a liberation to preach the Gospel.

    Tuesday of Second Week in Easter John 3 Today’s reading from Acts is a little scary. We always worry about the preaching of the Gospel, lest it impact on our lifestyle.

    Easter 2: Easter makes a difference. It changes cold, hard, self-centered people into a community that cares for one another. It gives boldness to weak hearts. It gives hope to suffering spirits. It provides a perspective.

    Christ is Risen! He is risen, indeed – Alleluia! Life in the time of Jesus was hard – maybe even mean. There are plenty of examples of this. Justice was often quick and oftentimes harsh. Look at what happened to Jesus! He was celebrating Passover with his disciples on Thursday night, and by ...read more

    An Occasion for Motivation: Acts 4:23-31, Most Christians would likely cower in fear if we had been arrested, questioned and then forbidden to even speak in the name of Jesus.
