About this episode
Alistair Begg explores the prayer of the early believers in Acts 4, emphasizing its communal and theological aspects and its relevance for Christians today.
When the apostles Peter and John were released from custody after being arrested for proclaiming the Gospel, their fellow believers responded in prayer. Acts 4 records this prayer, which provides Christians of any era with a pattern for how to pray. In this message, Alistair Begg unpacks the early believers’ prayer, demonstrating how it was communal, theological, scriptural, and purposeful—and challenges believers today to rely on prayer and the Holy Spirit as they live faithfully in a culture increasingly resistant to the Gospel. Bible passages: Acts 4:23-23:31
