The Power of a Name Acts 4:1-12


We return to our series in Acts picking up on the repercussions of the healed man (from Acts 3) as we tackle Acts 4:1-12.  Today we will see a strong inquiry from the Sadducees to Peter and the others, “By what power or by what name did you do this (healing)?”  Peter not only responds factually but preaches the good news.  We often bolt when persecuted, buckle under pressure, or boast in self promotion over powerfully resting in the name of Jesus.  There is power in one name, Jesus Christ, who saves us physically and spiritually, redeeming our need for self-protection, self-worth and self-focus.  What name do you claim?
