Courageous

Passage: Acts 5:12-42

Bible Text: Acts 5:12-42 | Preacher: Nathan Herrlin | Series: Church as God intended | Youversion Link

“What makes a day ‘Good’?”
Three different reasons people suffer:

People suffer for BEING STUPID
People suffer for PERSONAL GROWTH
People suffer for THE NAME OF JESUS

 
Am I a courageous member of the body of Christ, ready to suffer for the honor of Jesus’ name?
 
My next step with God is to…

spend some time considering these “response questions”:

Do I generally avoid resistance?
Can I think of times I have recently invited resistance for someone else’s spiritual good?

ask God for an opportunity to bring honor to Jesus’ name and the courage to take it
watch for how people in the Bible responded to suffering as I continue reading through the book of Acts.
