Actes 4:13–31 (NEG79)

13 Lorsqu'ils virent l'assurance de Pierre et de Jean, ils furent étonnés, sachant que c'étaient des hommes du peuple sans instruction; et ils les reconnurent pour avoir été avec Jésus.

The book of Acts recounts the spread of the early church and the manner in which Christ works to take the gospel from Jerusalem to Samaria and finally to the end of the earth (Acts 1:8). In this sermon you must focus on the events that followed Peter’s initial speech before the Sanhedrin. Specifically you will explain the dilemma that the Jewish council faced and their response. You must also explain the pressure which was placed on the apostles and how they responded. In terms of application you must show how Christ works to strengthen his church so that the Good News of his resurrection and the salvation which he has accomplished will continue to be proclaimed in word and deed.
