0:00.0 | Hey Bible readers, I'm Tara Lee Cobble, and I'm your host for the Bible Recap. |
0:12.7 | Yesterday, the early church had its launch party. God, the Spirit, came to dwell in believers, |
0:18.6 | continuing the process of redemption God planned and set in motion |
0:21.8 | before he even created the world. While Jesus can only be in one place at a time, and he's |
0:27.2 | currently seated at the right hand of the Father in heaven, God the Spirit isn't bound by a body. |
0:32.3 | He is dispersed to all believers. But even in this dispersion, it's for the sake of unity. |
0:39.2 | He demonstrated that by unifying a divided language, by bringing clarity and understanding that wasn't there without him. |
0:44.7 | Then Peter and John healed a man who was 40-plus years old who had been crippled for his |

1:18.7 | They turn it up to 11. |
1:20.7 | And as a result, about 5,000 more people repent and follow Jesus. |
1:25.1 | The local leaders have a meeting about this because they're concerned |
1:28.2 | about what these followers of Jesus are doing and how. When they ask Peter and John where they got |
1:33.7 | their power and authority, Peter says, Jesus, the guy you killed. There's no other place to get that |
1:39.5 | power. There's no other name by which people are saved. The leaders are thrown off by this whole thing. |
1:45.2 | They've got two uneducated men who somehow speak with wisdom and authority, and they've got a lame guy |
