Apostles are chosen by God, and their persecution is actually a gift because it offers them a chance to show others the surprising generosity and love of Jesus, which is fuelled by hope in His return and victory over evil. Peter is hopeful that their imitation of Jesus and demonstration of His upside-down kingdom, which includes baptism and service, will give power to their words as they bear witness to God&#8217;s mercy and show people the beautiful truth about Jesus..<\/p>\n<p><H3> 10th January 2021: Video \u2013 Listen to the Full Service or Just the Sermon <\/H3><\/p>\n<p><strong>YOUTUBE FULL SERVICE<\/strong> (including Songs\/Hymns, Prayers, Kids Spot &#038;
