[This is my Faith Post for May 2025.]
In my congregation this past weekend we read Acts 5:12-32, a passage which recounts the preaching and teaching of the Apostles Peter and John in Jerusalem. They are preaching in a post-resurrection and post-Pentecost context. That gives Peter and John plenty of life-saving content to share and also supreme confidence and hope in what they are doing. They get to preach about the Author of Life. They get to heal the sick, drive out demons, and enjoy a front-row seat at being a part of the Kingdom of God ushering into this world. They get to see the full power and authority of Jesus on display through their own fingertips and words.
