1:34 The Background: Why are the Sadducees annoyed by the miraculously healed man from Acts 3?
2:18 Acts 4:7-10 "... By what power or by what name did you do this? Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “Rulers of the people and elders, if we are being examined today concerning a good deed done to a crippled man, by what means this man has been healed, let it be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead—by him this man is standing before you well." (ESV) [1] 2:45 To whom are they giving all the credit, glory, and honor? vv.11-12 "This Jesus is the stone that was rejected by you, the builders, which has become the cornerstone. 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.” 3:30 What does this have to do with addiction, disease, choosing a higher power, sobriety, being clean and sober, drunkenness, and idolatry? 4:45 What/Who is the only true remedy you need to know and why?
5:35 Acts 4:13-14 "Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated, common men, they were astonished. And they recognized that they had been with Jesus. But seeing the man who was healed standing beside them, they had nothing to say in opposition."

14:05 Matthew 4:18-22 “While walking by the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon (who is called Peter) and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen. And he said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.” Immediately ...followed him. And going on from there he saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets, and he called them. Immediately they left the boat and their father and followed him.” 16:30 What does it mean to be recognized as having “been with Jesus”? 18:15 What are the results of ministry to those who were in addiction?
