When the council was debating what to do with the apostles, Gamaliel stood up and spoke. He said, “Men of Israel, take care what you are about to do with these men. For before these days Theudas rose up, claiming to be somebody, and a number of men, about four hundred, joined him. He was killed, and all who followed him were dispersed and came to nothing. After him, Judas the Galilean rose up in the days of the census and drew away some of the people after him. He too perished, and all who followed him were scattered. So in the present case, I tell you, keep away from these men and let them alone, for if this plan or this undertaking is of man, it will fail; but if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow them. You might even be found opposing God!” (Acts 5:33-39)
Gamaliel’s intervention shows that he was a wise and thoughtful leader who wanted to avoid making a rash decision. He recognized that the apostles were preaching a message that was causing conflict and controversy, and he suggested that the council should wait and see what would happen before taking action. He pointed out that other leaders who had tried to rise up against the established authorities had failed, and he suggested that if the apostles’ message was from God, then the council would not be able to stop it. Gamaliel’s intervention ultimately led to the council releasing the apostles and allowing them to continue preaching.

(I) Focus on evangelism and outreach: One way to promote church growth is to focus on evangelism and outreach. This can involve going out into the community and sharing the message of the gospel with people who may not be familiar with it. It can also involve inviting friends, family, and neighbors to church events and services, and providing them with information about the church and its beliefs and values.
(II) Offer engaging and relevant worship services: Another way to promote church growth is to offer worship services that are engaging and relevant to people’s lives. This can involve choosing music and other elements of the service that are contemporary and appealing, and using technology and multimedia to enhance the experience. It can also involve providing teaching and preaching that is relevant to people’s daily lives and addresses their needs and concerns.
(III) Provide opportunities for fellowship and community: A third way to promote church growth is to provide opportunities for fellowship and community. This can involve hosting social events and activities, such as potlucks, picnics, and game nights, that allow people to get to know each other and build relationships. It can also involve providing support and care for people who are going through difficult times, such as illness, loss, or other challenges, and helping them feel connected and supported within the church community.

In James 1:5-6, “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind.” This verse suggests that we should ask for wisdom from God in faith, without doubting, in order to receive it.
Additionally, in James 4:2-3, the author writes, “You do not have because you do not ask. You ask and do not receive, because you ask wrongly, to spend it on your passions.” This verse suggests that we may not receive what we ask for from God if we ask with the wrong intentions.

On the first day of the week, after Jesus had risen from the dead, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to the tomb to anoint Jesus’ body.
When they arrived, they found that the stone that had been placed over the entrance to the tomb had been rolled away, and the tomb was empty. Suddenly, there was a great earthquake, and an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and rolled back the stone. The angel was shining like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow.
The women were terrified, but the angel spoke to them and said, “Do not be afraid. I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here, for he has risen, just as he said.” The angel then told the women to go and tell the disciples that Jesus had risen from the dead and that he would meet them in Galilee.
As the women were leaving the tomb, they saw Jesus standing there. When they saw him, they worshiped him, but Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid. Go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee, and there they will see me.”
After Jesus spoke to the women, they went and told the disciples what had happened. The disciples were amazed and overjoyed, and they went to Galilee to meet Jesus, just as he had instructed. This is the story of the appearance of Jesus to the women after his resurrection, as recorded in the gospel of Matthew

This incident is described in the gospel of Mark 14:51-52. In this passage, Jesus is being arrested in the garden of Gethsemane by the chief priests and the guards. As he is being led away, a young man who is following him is seized and his linen cloth is left behind.
The events leading up to this incident can be traced back to earlier in the gospel of Mark, where Jesus is spending time with his disciples in Jerusalem during the Passover feast. In Mark 14:1-2, it is reported that the chief priests and the scribes are looking for a way to arrest Jesus and kill him, but they are afraid of the people because of his popularity.
Later, in Mark 14:43-45, Judas Iscariot, one of Jesus’ disciples, betrays him by identifying him to the chief priests and the guards with a kiss. The chief priests and the guards then come to the garden of Gethsemane and arrest Jesus. As they are leading him away, the young man who is following him is seized and his linen cloth is left behind.
Overall, the events leading up to this incident involve a plot by the chief priests and the scribes to arrest and kill Jesus, the betrayal of Judas Iscariot, and the arrest of Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane.

In Peter’s teaching on good citizenship, he told the people to make themselves subject to every human authority.
It does not matter whether it is the emperor himself or the Governors sent by him to reward the just and punish the wicked because it is the will of God. When they do this, according to Peter, they will silence the ignorance of fools.
Peter advised them to live as people who are free but also they should not use their freedom as a pretext to foment evil.
Peter told them to live as servants of God.
They must honour everybody, love the brotherhood. They must fear God and honour the emperor.
