Podcasts about Acts 4

Fr. Mike highlights the boldness of Peter and John in our reading from Acts as they stand before the council of church leaders and defend the name of Jesus. He also addresses Paul's writings on God's grace given to us in our sinfulness and the war between good and evil present within ourselves. Today's readings are Acts 4, Romans 6-7, and Proverbs 27:4-6. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.

Daily Dose of Hope November 20, 2025   Scripture - Acts 4:1-22   Prayer: Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful. And kindle in them the fire of your love. Send forth your Spirit and they shall be created. And you will renew the face of the earth. Lord, by the light of the Holy Spirit you have taught the hearts of your faithful. In the same Spirit help us to relish what is right and always rejoice in your consolation. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.   Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that complements the New Hope Church daily Bible reading plan.  We have been doing a pretty intense walk through the Gospels and Acts.  Today, we begin Acts 4. Peter and John have been brought before the Sanhedrin.  Why?  Because they were preaching Jesus crucified and risen.  Peter has spoken as one filled with the Holy Spirit and it is powerful!  Many were coming to belief in Jesus.  These Jewish officials felt threatened.  And yet, they couldn't deny that the man had been healed.  The officials ask Peter and John by what authority they are preaching and teaching.  What do they say? They state clearly that they are preaching by the authority of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.  What was kind of fascinating and also kind of sad as I was doing research for this Scripture was the number of academics who struggled with this passage.  They struggled with the exclusivity of Peter and John preaching Jesus and only Jesus.  Peter is clear – it is by Jesus this man was healed and it is only by Jesus that we are saved.  And here we are 2000 years later and all kinds of academics can parse words and want to make the speech different.  Yet, Peter was clear.  He says this in verse 12,  Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.  My favorite line from the chapter is, 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.  This is always such a humbling verse for me.  Do others look at us and know we've been with Jesus?  It didn't matter that Peter and John hadn't had proper schooling, whatever that is.  They might not have even been literate.  But here they are, filled with the Spirit of the Living God, and it is obvious.  Everything about what they spoke, how they looked, and how they behaved, made it so evident that they belonged to Jesus.  And that begs the question --- could people say the same for us? Blessings, Pastor Vicki

Acts 4-6

Rediscovering the Lost Art of Walking with God | KIB 505 Kingdom Intelligence Briefing Description A heartfelt Veterans Day prayer, candid talk on current events, and a deeply practical call to walk with God continually—not just in set "prayer times." Dr. Michael and Mary Lou Lake unpack the Hebraic pattern of halikha (walking), Genesis 17's call to be tamiym (complete), the friendship of God that grows through constant conversation, and how everyday listening births real intercession that can change lives. In this episode (KIB 505): Veterans Day gratitude & prayer for healing, provision, and justice Discerning the times without fear—and praying for spiritual awakening Why "talking with God all day" transforms prayer closet power Abraham's journey (Gen 17) and the invitation to walk before God as El Shaddai supplies every need Acts 4 boldness: being recognized as those who have been with Jesus Isaiah 11's seven-fold Spirit and cultivating holy reverence Practical stories: technical problems solved through dialogue with God, unexpected intercessions, and the joy that returns to daily obedience Scripture references (ESV): Genesis 17:1, Matthew 6:7–8, Acts 4:13, Isaiah 11:1–3.

The early church was marked by wholehearted devotion — unity, generosity, honesty, and awe before a holy God.But the story of Ananias and Sapphira reminds us: God is not interested in partial obedience, spiritual performance, or selective surrender.God wants the whole heart — not the edited, filtered, Sunday-only version.Before you listen, take a moment to slow down and prepare:⸻

What makes the disciples, in the face of impending suffering, become more bold to proclaim Jesus' resurrection and exceedingly generous? We want to follow in the early disciples' footsteps by looking at their pattern of RUNNING to the Lord, REHEARSING God's sovereignty, and RE-EXPERIENCING his powerful presence.

Jeff Tacklind's message from Acts 4:1-13 for our series on the book of Acts

Acts 4:23-37 | Greg Packinghouse's Sunday morning worship service from November 2, 2025 In Acts 4 the church hears the threats and, instead of spiraling, lifts its voice to the Creator, remembers Psalm 2, and asks for courage, and God answers by shaking the place as the Spirit fills them again so they speak freely about Jesus while great grace rests on them and generous hearts meet every need, Barnabas included. The pattern is steady and simple: magnify who God is, recall what God has said, lay the problem before him, ask for boldness to keep witnessing, and then move forward in unity and love. - Greg Opean - Sunday, November 2, 2025

Guest Speaker: Mark Smith

In the book of Acts we see the early church explode onto the scene. There were powerful sermons, miracles, and life transformations taking place daily. But what marked the early church wasn't just their preaching or miracles — it was their radical generosity.As we continue through Acts, we'll look at how the gospel didn't just change what believers gave, but who they were. Join us as Pastor Mike teaches from Acts 4:32–36 on how Gospel Generosity transforms hearts, builds unity, and points the world to Jesus.

Sunday, October 26, 2025"We Believe: Th Holy Spirit" - David ElksSermon based on Acts 4:23-31(reading by Matt Trenchard)

What does true unity look like in the church? In Acts 4:32–37, we see a powerful picture of believers filled with the Holy Spirit—living with one heart and one soul, sharing generously, and proclaiming the resurrection of Jesus with great power. This passage reminds us that unity isn't just agreement—it's the supernatural work of God's Spirit that fuels mission, strengthens believers, and glorifies Christ.

The apostle Peter is transformed from hiding and denying knowing the name of Jesus to bolding proclaiming salvation in the name of Jesus, "unable to top speaking about what [he has] seen and heard." Stephen explains to the Jewish leadership how the Story of Scripture has all led to Jesus and becomes the first Christian martyr. We are introduced to a young zealot named Paul, who "breathes" threats and murder against the followers of Jesus. It is the explosive, beginning of the church; no one is left unchanged by the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus.

This Sunday, we're thrilled to welcome our friend Abner Ruiz from Comunidad de Fe, who will be preaching from Acts 4:23–31. After facing opposition, the disciples didn't retreat—they prayed. What happened next changed everything. Together, we'll discover how prayer ignites boldness in the Church today.We're especially excited to worship alongside our friends from Comunidad de Fe and experience a glimpse of the scene described in Revelation 7—“from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb… crying out with a loud voice,‘Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!'”If you've never joined us for a joint service with Comunidad de Fe, you're in for a treat. You'll experience worship in both English and Spanish, Abner preaching in Spanish with his wife, Jessica, translating into English, and a joyful picture of the global Church—a diverse family of believers lifting high the name of Jesus together.
