Sermon Series:  STORIES          

May 17 – HIS Story – Acts 4:1-20

                                    Stories always engage and captivate.  They have a power all their own.  Jesus’ story really carries a punch.  When told, it is so unbelievable that it makes you want to believe.  It causes you to believe.  It makes you into a believer.  Let’s learn from Peter and John and tell the story.

“But Peter and John replied, “Which is right in God’s eyes: to listen to you, or to him? You be the judges! As for us, we cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard.” (Acts 4:19-20)
