What is the outcome of Community, Theology, Encounter?

1. Unity- they viewed what happened to Peter and John as happening to all of them. They went back to their “own.” 

2. Trust- shown in what they prayed: focused on God’s bigness and greatness. Their prayer is aimed at restoration not vengeance. 

3. Humility- servant repeated 3 times: Pais- son or child- high ranking- used for King David and Jesus. Dulos- low ranking servant- used of themselves. 

4. Boldness- this is the thing they asked for. They didn’t pray to make the hardship less. They prayed for boldness in the danger. Holy boldness does not leave gentleness, kindness, and graciousness at home. The gift of the Spirit is inspired speech.
