  5. HOW DID THECHURCH SURVIVE?

  6. PETER WAS ARRESTED & PUT TO JAIL. ACTS 4:1-4 (NIV) 3 THEY SEIZED PETER AND JOHN, AND BECAUSE IT WAS EVENING, THEY PUT THEM IN JAIL UNTIL THE NEXT DAY. 4 BUT MANY WHO HEARD THE MESSAGE BELIEVED, AND THE NUMBER OF MEN GREW TO ABOUT FIVE THOUSAND.

  7. THE APOSTLES WERE FORBIDDEN TO TALK ABOUT JESUS ACTS 5: 28 28"WE TOLD YOU PLAINLY NOT TO TEACH IN THE NAME OF JESUS.”

  8. THE APOSTLES WERE BEATEN & WHIPPED. ACTS 5:40 (NIV) THEY CALLED THE APOSTLES BACK IN. THEY HAD THEM BEATEN WITH A WHIP AND WARNED THEM NOT TO SPEAK IN THE NAME OF JESUS. THEN THEY LET THEM GO.

  9. THEIR REACTION? THE APOSTLES PRAY WITH GREAT BOLDNESS (ACTS 4:24) THE APOSTLES SPEAK WITH GREAT BOLDNESS (ACTS 4:10 & 5:29) THE APOSTLES LIVE WITH GREAT BOLDNESS (ACTS 5:18-20)

  10. WHAT WAS THEDIFFERENCE?

  11. ACTS 5:36-39 - SOME TIME AGO THEUDAS APPEARED, CLAIMING TO BE SOMEBODY, AND ABOUT FOUR HUNDRED MEN RALLIED TO HIM. HE WAS KILLED, ALL HIS FOLLOWERS WERE DISPERSED, AND IT ALL CAME TO NOTHING. AFTER HIM, JUDAS THE GALILEAN APPEARED IN THE DAYS OF THE CENSUS AND LED A BAND OF PEOPLE IN REVOLT. HE TOO WAS KILLED, AND ALL HIS FOLLOWERS WERE SCATTERED. THEREFORE, IN THE PRESENT CASE I ADVISE YOU: LEAVE THESE MEN ALONE! LET THEM GO! FOR IF THEIR PURPOSE OR ACTIVITY IS OF HUMAN ORIGIN, IT WILL FAIL. BUT IF IT IS FROM GOD, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO STOP THESE MEN; YOU WILL ONLY FIND YOURSELVES FIGHTING AGAINST GOD."

  12. JOHN 14:16 - AND I WILL PRAY THEFATHER, AND HE WILL GIVE YOU ANOTHER HELPER (HOLY SPIRIT), THAT HE MAY ABIDE WITH YOU FOREVER. HELPER: PARAKLETOS–ADVOCATE&COUNSELORACTS 1:8 - BUT YOU WILL RECEIVE POWER WHEN THE HOLY SPIRIT COMES ON YOU; & YOU WILL BE MY WITNESSES IN JERUSALEM, & IN ALL JUDEA & SAMARIA, & TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH.”

  13. ROM 8:26 IN THE SAME WAY, THE SPIRIT HELPS US IN OUR WEAKNESS. WE DO NOT KNOW WHAT WE OUGHT TO PRAY FOR, BUT THE SPIRIT HIMSELF INTERCEDES FOR US WITH GROANS THAT WORDS CANNOT EXPRESS. MARK 13:11 WHENEVER YOU ARE ARRESTED AND BROUGHT TO TRIAL, DO NOT WORRY BEFOREHAND ABOUT WHAT TO SAY. JUST SAY WHATEVER IS GIVEN YOU AT THE TIME, FOR IT IS NOT YOU SPEAKING, BUT THE HOLY SPIRIT.

  14. 8 THEN PETER, FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT, SAID TO THEM, …LET ME CLEARLY STATE TO ALL OF YOU AND TO ALL THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL THAT HE WAS HEALED BY THE POWERFUL NAME OF JESUS CHRIST THE NAZARENE, THE MAN YOU CRUCIFIED BUT WHOM GOD RAISED FROM THE DEAD. ACTS 4:8-10 NLT

  15. GODINYOUTHE SPIRIT OF GOD, WHO RAISED JESUS FROM THE DEAD, LIVES IN YOU. AND JUST AS GOD RAISED CHRIST JESUS FROM THE DEAD, HE WILL GIVE LIFE TO YOUR MORTAL BODIES BY THIS SAME SPIRIT LIVING WITHIN YOU. ROM 8:11

  16. GOBEBOLDBE CONFIDENT OF THIS, THAT HE WHO BEGAN A GOOD WORK IN YOU WILL CARRY IT ON TO COMPLETION UNTIL THE DAY OF CHRIST JESUS. PHIL 1:6
