Question: Why would God allow the disciples to go through such trials of pain and suffering when they gave up everything to spread the teachings of Jesus after His crucifixion?
Possible Answer: To show that with the indwelling power of the Holy Spirit, external circumstances do not matter. The joy and peace of God given through the Holy Spirit is more powerful than external circumstances. If the disciples had been blessed with power, and wealth, and health, and fame, the peace and joy they showed could have been attributed to the worldly blessings. But no one in their right mind would have had joy and peace and sang hymns while going through what the disciples went through UNLESS God had blessed them with a supernatural power!
And the best thing is, that same power is available to you and me.
How? Repent of your sins. Accept Jesus as the son of God who died as your savior and was raised from the dead. Be Baptized. Ask for the filling of the Holy Spirit. And then be led by the Spirit for the rest of your life!
There is power in the Spirit and it is fed by the word of God!
Have a great day. Hope to see you and some friends on Sunday at 4:00pm Airplane park on Center Grove Road. Hot dogs, Brats, and drinks provided. If you choose bring a side dish or a desert. We will not be having a formal service but we will come together to get to know one another better and to share ideas, dreams, and suggestions about the future of our Fellowship.
See you soon! Love, pastor kent
