Hey, good people. This is Toray Roberts. Blessings to you and welcome to the One podcast.

I'm excited that you're here. One is a community of dynamic and vibrant thought leaders,

preachers, teachers, and just a community of wonderful people all together.

And we're excited to bring you this weekly podcast from our services from One in L.A.

If you haven't been the one, I encourage you to check it out.

You can go to One, the word one, o'n, dot online, and find it all about the service times and all about the teachers and all the philanthropic things that we have going,

I believe you're going to be blessed to be a part of it.

And speaking of being blessed,

we're getting ready to get into a teaching right now

that I believe is going to bless you.

So tune in, enjoy, and I'll be back with you at the end.

I am in Acts, Chapter 4, verses 23 through 31.

I'm in the new King James Version.

Oh, child, it's churching in here today already.

I like to provide a little bit of context whenever you open the Bible,

you're really entering no matter where you open into the middle of a story.

And I have found that it has been helpful for me in my own studying to contextualize what is

occurring when we enter into this text.

And so just to give you some perspective in Acts 4, Jesus has already been crucified.
