Then it becomes clear:God moved.The Spirit fell.And it wasn’t who they expected.This episode starts real with everyday life, then turns into a deeper challenge. Are we following God or just protecting what’s familiar?“If God is doing this, who are we to stand in His way?”You can build a crowd around a personality.You can grow a following around a message.But you cannot turn people to the Lord without the hand of the Lord.Is your circle smaller than the Gospel?Come on and step outside of it.

From being beaten to celebrating their suffering, the apostles show what real faith and obedience look like.If the resurrection were not true, why would anyone endure this?Come on.

Peter was a fisherman.Unqualified. Ordinary.
