Acts 4 – Boldness Request Story – Storytellers Bible Project

Warnings & Threats – priest, sword, chains – Let me share a story with you about persecution. Peter and John were told by the Jerusalem Council to stop preaching in Jesus’ name.

Divine Mystery – God speaking, staff, Jesus, chains – The Council released Peter and John after threatening them. Afraid, they returned to their house church. All the disciples prayed, remembering prophecies of Jesus Christ in chains.

Intervention Request – God, cloud, disciple, flame, breath – The disciples confessed their fears in prayer. They asked God for boldness and power to keep sharing the Gospel.

Shalom

Shalom is a Hebrew word meaning peace, harmony, wholeness, completeness, soundness, abundance, welfare, tranquility, and carrying with it the implication of permanence. A permanent, unshakeable trust in God to faithfully provide for and protect me and my family.

Shalom is not a strategy or tool, shalom is not a value or resource. Shalom is a gift, a choice, and a bedrock for all we do. Jesus is the Prince of Shalom, so we can only find true peace while resting in Him.

Just saying the word brings a sense of peace and calm. Jesus says that He came to undo all the evil that has been done, He brings Shalom. We have been called to participate in seeking Shalom in all that is broken. One of the greatest evils is feeling alone, that no one is coming for us or wants to be with us. 

Shalom Medics Mission

A medic in the military brings first aid to the combat site.

As Shalom Medics, we imitate Jesus and seek out the broken, the weary, the lonely to bring them Shalom.

Shalom Medics pursue others. Shalom Medics acknowledge the deep need for His Presence. Shalom Medics come find and connect others. 

“Christians are to be known as a group of people who ‘suffer well’.” We require someone who shares our pain with us. Talking without listening is an anxiety-ridden expression that can bring us some momentary relief but no shalom.” ~ from Joyful Journey
