Daily Thread – Acts 4

Peter and John Arrested

Now as they spoke to the people, the priests, the captain of the temple, and the Sadducees came upon them, being greatly disturbed that they taught the people and preached in Jesus the resurrection from the dead. And they laid hands on them, and put them in custody until the next day, for it was already evening. However, many of those who heard the word believed; and the number of the men came to be about five thousand.

Addressing the Sanhedrin

And it came to pass, on the next day, that their rulers, elders, and scribes, as well as Annas the high priest, Caiaphas, John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the family of the high priest, were gathered together at Jerusalem. And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, “By what power or by what name have you done this?”

Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “Rulers of the people and elders of Israel: If we this day are judged for a good deed done to a helpless man, by what means he has been made well, 10 let it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by Him this man stands here before you whole. 11 This is the ‘stone which was rejected by you builders, which has become the chief cornerstone.’ 12 Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”

 

Good morning and welcome

Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen

    ...... What's Your Biblical Surname?
    Friday, September 6, 2024
    In the Bible, nobody has a last name. Even people you think have last names really don't; not the way we have them today. Mary Magdalene really means Miriam of Magdala. Magdala was the place she came from. Other biblical people were given second names to communicate their character and life. For instance, Simon Peter or Shimon Kayfah, means Simon the Rock - so he would become like a rock. Simon the Zealot was zealous. James the Just was righteous. These were their biblical surnames. So what's your biblical surname? What surname would those who really know you give you? What surname will God give you when your life is over; with what name will you enter eternity? What will your biblical surname be? Will it be John the Discontented or John the Joyful? Susan the Selfish or Susan the Loving? Karen the Complainer or Karen the Encourager? Robert the Bitter or Robert the Gracious? It's up to you. You still have time to change it, not by virtue of a judge, but by virtue of a changed life. What do you want your biblical surname to be? You decide.
    From Message #2146 - Your Eternal Surname
    Scripture: Genesis 35:10
    Today's Mission - Today, act in the manner that you want to be remembered for. Act in accordance with the Biblical surname you want in heaven.

  • Good Morning. God Bless All Here Today.

  • Acts 4:11 This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.
    Psalm 118:22 The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner.
    Matthew 21:42 Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes?

    Isaiah 28:16 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.
    Romans 9:33 As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumbling stone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
    1 Peter 2:7-8 Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,
    And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.
