WHO ARE THE CHRISTIAN INFLUENCER INSIDE THE LOCAL CHURCH?
( Acts 4:13-17 ) 13 Now
when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were
unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them,
that they had been with Jesus.
14 And beholding the man which was healed standing
with them, they could say nothing against it.
15 But when they had commanded them to go aside out
of the council, they conferred among themselves,
16 Saying, What shall we do to these men? for that
indeed a notable miracle hath been done by them is manifest to all them that
dwell in Jerusalem; and we cannot deny it.
17 But that it spread no further among the people,
let us straitly threaten them, that they speak henceforth to no man in this
name.

of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the

you all always *
