Part 1 of 8 | Church Arise Series

 In Church Arise, we learn from Acts 4 & 5 that Jesus’ resurrection raised up a church marked by prayer, unity, and holiness.

“And when they had prayed, the place in which they were gathered together was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and continued to speak the word of God with boldness.”

The Holy Bible: English Standard Version (Wheaton, IL: Crossway Bibles, 2025), Acts 4:31.
