Free, Afflicted, but Free // An Apostolic People // Acts 5 12-42 // Audrey Mafemera

As Audrey shows us from Acts 5v12-42 [https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Acts%205:12-42&version=ESVUK], Jesus sets us free.  And we are free!   This freedom was prophesied. We have freedom to obey Christ.  And we have the freedom to obey Christ at any cost.  And there is a cost.  There was a cost for the Church as we read in Acts; and there is cost to the Church today.  But there is Freedom and that Freedom is in Christ.  Audrey’s slides are available here [https://1drv.ms/p/c/34f2597658b8d8a6/IQBOHscga9XTSZWTdjm4a7JyAcyJD6gmWyJM-KnMjOaexhU?e=nyQfw9]    Cornerstone City Church - Medway Valley Community https://www.cornerstonecity.co.uk/medway-valley [https://www.cornerstonecity.co.uk/medway-valley]  linktr.ee/cccmedway [https://linktr.ee/cccmedway]  Email: wouldham@cornerstonecity.co.uk [wouldham@cornerstonecity.co.uk]  Podcasts: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/cccmedwayvalley [https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/cccmedwayvalley]

No other name // An Apostolic People // Acts 3-4 22 // Mike Southall

This week we are with Mike in Acts 3v1-4v22 [https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Acts%203:1-4:22&version=ESVUK]. How did Peter get from the lovable bumbler we saw in Mark to this sage, courageous force for God and the Gospel? We see the answer in Acts 4 8, Peter was “filled with the Holy Spirit”.  He knew Jesus. He knew that “there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”  It’s not about us. It’s about the Power of God given for and to us.  Do you know Him?    Cornerstone City Church - Medway Valley Community https://www.cornerstonecity.co.uk/medway-valley [https://www.cornerstonecity.co.uk/medway-valley]  linktr.ee/cccmedway [https://linktr.ee/cccmedway]  Email: wouldham@cornerstonecity.co.uk [wouldham@cornerstonecity.co.uk]  Podcasts: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/cccmedwayvalley [https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/cccmedwayvalley]
