SERMON SUMMARY
As we walk through Acts 5:26-42 today, ask the Spirit of God to speak to you through the Word of God. Feel free to write down any thoughts and notes that you sense the Spirit through the Word is laying on your heart and mind, and then intentionally share those things with someone this week. May this intentionality grow you in hearing from the Spirit through the Word, and may it be an encouragement to your brothers and sisters in Christ as we equip one another towards maturing in Christ.
