    The Sanhedrin again seek to put Christ and Christianity on trial, even though Jesus has been crucified, dead and buried.

    Mid-Week Message/Devotion April 25, 2018 Acts 4:5-12 We are reading through this account of Peter and the apostles being queried by yet another gathering of what amounts to a self-appointed council.

    Don’t let anything stop you from pursuing your God-given dreams, not rejection nor reversals, because in God’s sovereignty, our setbacks are but stepping stones to success.
