Read Acts 4:1-30
“If trials and tribulations are part of the Christian condition, then so should the ability to endure them.” ~Asil Treblig
We ENDURE in Jesus’ Name!
Endure: remain firm under suffering, trials, or misfortune without yielding.
We endure by…
Submitting to authorities. (vs. 1-3)
Submitting to the Holy Spirit. (v.10)
Submitting to opportunities. (vs. 9-13)
Submitting to obedience. (vs.19,20)
Submitting to boldness. (vs. 29-31)
GOING DEEPER
Remember a time when you had to endure a hardship or trial. What happened?
Why do you think there are hardships and trials in the Christian life?
Read James 1:2-4. What do these verses say amount trials, how we should go through them and what they produce?
Read 1 Peter 1:3-9. What knowledge can you gain from these verses regarding trials and why they come upon us?
What trial are you going through now? What can you learn from it? Have you gained wisdom from a recent trial that you can share with someone else?
