In Acts 4, the apostles began to suffer resistance and even persecution. In a worldly sense, they probably felt powerless - there was little that they could do to change their circumstances. But the truth is that because of God, they were far from powerless - and this story shows us that even when we feel powerless, we actually aren't. We have some pretty important choices and opportunities that are available to us - that no one and no situation can rob us of.
