If you didn't bring a Bible with you this morning, if you'd hold your hand up real high,

the ushers have extra Bibles.

We'd be glad to let you use one of ours.

And let's all go to Acts the fourth chapter, Acts chapter four.

And then also let's find Proverbs 31.

Acts 4.

Proverbs 31.

In Acts the 4th chapter, we began some weeks ago talking about great grace. And this is our text. Acts 433 is a synopsis,

kind of an overview of the condition of the church at this time. I mean, there was the

Spirit of God fell on the day of Pentecost and the lame man at the gate beautiful was raised up

supernaturally and man there's people gotten saved by the thousands and thousands and they

got in trouble about that healing and got called in front of the elders and got beat and they came back

and they told them to never preach it anymore in the name of Jesus, but they come back and all prayed.

Lord, give us more boldness to preach and give us some more of these miracles.

God shook the house in affirmation.

He liked the prayer too.

And the Bible says in verse 33, with great power, gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus and great grace

was upon them all. Say that out loud, great grace was upon them all. Let's say it together. Great grace was upon them all. Let's say it together. Great grace was upon them all. There was something that was on them.

All of them, from the least, not just the preachers, not just the folks that have been saved for 50 years, you know.

Church is just getting going, actually. But there's something over the whole group.

And the Bible said it's grace.

Grace.
