Acts - Week 6
Watch LIVE online Sunday 10AM at NORTHIRON.live172
The book of Acts illustrates many changes from past “norms”.
Most people resist change.
Following Jesus means making real life changes that many resist.
Acts 4:1-3
The priests and the captain of the temple guard and the Sadducees came up to Peter and John while they were speaking to the people. They were greatly disturbed because the apostles were teaching the people, proclaiming in Jesus the resurrection of the dead. They seized Peter and John and, because it was evening, they put them in jail until the next day.
The resurrection disturbed and disrupted their religion.
Acts 4:4
But many who heard the message believed; so the number of men who believed grew to about five thousand.
Belief in Jesus’ message and His resurrection is what grows the Kingdom!
Acts 4:5-6
The next day the rulers, the elders and the teachers of the law met in Jerusalem. Annas the high priest was there, and so were Caiaphas, John, Alexander and others of the high priest’s family.
Acts 4:7
They had Peter and John brought before them and began to question them: “By what power or what name did you do this?”
Acts 4:8-10
Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them: “Rulers and elders of the people! If we are being called to account today for an act of kindness shown to a man who was lame and are being asked how he was healed, then know this, you and all the people of Israel: It is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified but whom God raised from the dead, that this man stands before you healed.
Acts 4:11-12
Jesus is “ ‘the stone you builders rejected, which has become the cornerstone.’ Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.”
Change begins at salvation and continues by spending time with Jesus.
Acts 4:13
When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus.
Acts 4:14-20
But since they could see the man who had been healed standing there with them, there was nothing they could say. So they ordered them to withdraw from the Sanhedrin and then conferred together. “What are we going to do with these men?” they asked. “Everyone living in Jerusalem knows they have performed a notable sign, and we cannot deny it. But to stop this thing from spreading any further among the people, we must warn them to speak no longer to anyone in this name.” Then they called them in again and commanded them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus. But Peter and John replied, “Which is right in God’s eyes: to listen to you, or to him? You be the judges! As for us, we cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard.”
What will you do with Jesus? Will you resist or will you follow?
If you follow Jesus He will change your eternal destination.
If you follow Jesus He will change your heart.
If you follow Jesus He will change you from a consumer to a contributor.
Changed people change the people around them.
Changed people change the culture around them.
Changed people change the future for their families and their communities.

The Lord has been using the wilderness for thousands of years as a place of accelerated growth and mentoring. Leaders are equipped and transition from where they are to where God is calling them. In this time of refining preparation, there are traits and experiences that need to be instilled in us before we can lead well.
Many Biblical leaders spent formative time in the wilderness, resulting in a greater understanding of their Identity, Mission, and Source. Begin your journey August 12-20th 2022 on a ten-day trip in the wilds of "The Winds Wilderness Area".
