This week at River City Reformed, we study Acts 4:23-31 to consider the church’s response to the opposition and persecution that came as a result of Peter and John’s faithfulness. We see that the church immediately turns to prayer and that the Lord is faithful to answer their prayer. The content of their prayer may surprise us, as they do not pray for deliverance from trial; rather, they pray that the Lord will give His servants boldness to continue to proclaim the truth.
Join us this week for worship at 9820 W Markham St (the sanctuary of Faith United Methodist Church). We meet at 9 AM. For more information, click here, or contact us. You can also watch our service on YouTube with a link posted to our Facebook page.
This week at River City Reformed, we are studying Acts 4:1-22. In this passage, we see something of the persecution and opposition that Peter and John’s faithfulness to their Savior and to the Gospel brings. Nonetheless, Peter is clear that Christ is indeed the only way of salvation, as he tells the priests, “And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” (Acts 4:12)
This week we will see that opposition to the Gospel does not keep the Word from going forth. The Word is still powerful, and the Spirit of God is still at work to draw God’s elect people to Him. Join us this week as we consider these truths more fully. We meet for worship at 9 AM at 9820 W Markham St. in Little Rock (the sanctuary of Faith United Methodist Church).

This week at River City Reformed, we turn in our morning worship service to Acts 3:1-26. This section involves Peter’s miraculous healing of a man born lame, but Peter is clear that it is not of his authority that he healed this man. Rather, it is the power and authority of the risen Christ that Peter emphasizes.
In his sermon to those looking on, Peter exhorts them to repentance “that your sins may be blotted out.” (Acts 4:19) Have your sins been blotted out? There could be no more important matter to have settled than to know your sins have been covered by the blood of Christ.
