Acts 4:23-31
We continue in the book of Acts—stories of the Church
developing and asserting its identity. This week our story is from Acts
4:23-31, which immediately follows our story from last week. After
healing a lame man, amazing the people, and angering the Council, Peter and
John are released. They are empowered and inspired to live into their
calling with boldness. This week’s scripture is a prayer—asking to embody
and speak with boldness—to bring new life and hope with the language of
possibility.
