Just some notes from today's sermon by Pastor Ben
He went through Acts chapters 3 and 4 and in the book it was about Peter and John going to the temple to have service like we would go to church on Sundays. A beggar coming toward them trying to get money, but Peter and John had something far greater than money for the beggar. He healed the man with the Holy Spirit! and even right after Peter started to preach the Gospel to the people surrounding him. It must have been pretty amazing for even Peter and John, and astounding for everyone else that witnessed it, but he was still able to keep cool and start speaking the Gospel to the people and he explained that it wasn't him doing the healing but in the name of Jesus Christ.
it is amazing to see them able to speak to people, but what is more amazing is that they are able to speak and not be afraid of anyone... almost right after this passage it says that they were arrested and put into jail in the morning, but even when that happened there were over 5000 people that became believers.
