This week, we will be in chapter 4, talking about being average and available for Jesus. Peter and John are put on trial, and they speak up for Jesus and the gospel message. They don’t crumble in fear. This will be a strong call for us, both as individuals and as a church, not to feel threatened by cancel culture, but to speak boldly for Jesus, regardless of the cost.

We see two men who are accused of being “untrained and common.” They were considered average, boring, and even “idiots” for their beliefs and for standing up for Jesus. But the one thing the religious leaders noticed was that they had been with Jesus. That’s something we pray is said about our church: that we’re not perfect, not polished, not even highly educated—but that we walk closely with Jesus and are bold for Him!

Many of us regularly struggle with insecurity about how people view us when we are sharing the gospel. This passage reminds us where the real power is and the kind of people God uses! We just want to be average and available with our lives!
