In Acts 4:1–22, Peter and John face opposition for proclaiming the resurrection of Jesus. Yet even in the midst of threats and imprisonment, the gospel continues to advance. This passage reminds us that everyday mission is both God's work and our witness: growth and opposition can happen at the same time, effective witness is empowered by the Holy Spirit, and resistance to the gospel often stems from a desire to hold on to power.We are called to courage—not in our own strength, but in the Spirit's power. The same Jesus who builds His church then is building His church now. Our mission is not to rely on cleverness or comfort, but to boldly proclaim the name of Jesus, trusting that He will make His mission effective through us.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.org Connect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!

When Peter and John were confronted by religious leaders in Acts 4:1–22, their courage didn't come from their own strength but from the Spirit of God. Even under threat and opposition, they boldly declared that salvation is found in no one else but Jesus. Their confidence came not from education, influence, or status—but from being with Christ.This passage challenges us to live out our everyday mission with the same boldness. The gospel will face resistance, but the Spirit empowers ordinary people to speak truth with courage and grace. As we follow Jesus, we're called to stand firm in our faith, trusting that God's presence and power are greater than any opposition we face.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.org Connect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!
