  • Pete’s talk focuses on the power of prayer in Acts 4:23-33, emphasizing the importance of a right understanding of God's sovereignty in our lives.

  • The central point is that having a proper view of God's sovereignty leads to boldness and faithfulness in the face of challenges and persecution.

  • The talk highlights the early church's reliance on prayer and their understanding of God's control over every aspect of life, inspiring them to take action for His kingdom.

  • The message is one of courage and trust, encouraging us to lean on God's sovereignty as we navigate through life's challenges and to boldly share the gospel with others, knowing that He is in control.

đź’¬ CONVERSATION STREET --

Matt + Claire discuss:

  • What did you think about Pete’s talk?

  • How do you normally start your prayers? Do you start them thinking about the Sovereignty of God?

  • Pete said in his talk that when the early church prayed for courage, they prayed for trouble. What are your thoughts on that?

  • Pete drew a parallel between God’s sovereignty and man’s responsibility in his talk. How do we avoid the extremes of either being too fatalistic or having too much control?

  • If someone consistently behaves in a selfish or cruel way, they may come to believe that God is selfish or cruel rather than understanding that their actions have consequences. Do you think that's true?

  • What do you think Pete meant when he said, we need a big God theology?

  • It God is sovereign, why is there evil in the world? Why doesn’t he just come and fix everything?
