 Okay, welcome back everyone. We will continue the end of Acts chapter 2. I'm looking at the chat here and Elisha has asked, does verse 38 subset that without baptism one cannot be saved? Okay, so Elisha, I think we've talked about this earlier. Though it sounds like that in this passage, we know that that is not what that wouldn't be right to say because nowhere else we see people being asked to be baptized in order to be saved. But people are told to believe in the Lord Jesus, confess that He is Lord and that is how they are saved. But as an act of their public proclamation of their faith, they are asked to be baptized in water. So even later, we'll see that the apostles are sent to places where people put their faith in Jesus and then you know what a baptism happens. Okay, so based on verse 38, we should not look at water baptism as a requirement for salvation. Water baptism is not a requirement, but it's an act of obedience after salvation. Okay, I hope it answers your question, Elisha. Okay, thank you. Thank you. Yes, Christopher, I see your hand raised. Christopher, I can't hear you. Yes, I can hear you now. Yes. Yeah, no, I'm just referring to verse 44. Now, all who believe were together and had all things in common and sold their positions and goods and divided them among them, among all, as anyone at need. We just wanted to understand, are you aware of any churches that operate like this? I mean, how has it worked? And, you know, it seems to be like a different model. What actually comes to mind also is that maybe in the current time, you know, churches that operate like this would be considered like a cult that is working with people to give up everything. But I guess the point I'm making is that Jesus, even when he sent the disciples out to minister and to preach the word, he had told them, you know, don't even take, you know, extra, you know, extra bed of sandals and, you know, just, you know, go and, you know, go as, you know, completely like, you know, people who have no possessions. So I just wanted to understand your view on this. Okay, so your question is, do I know any churches like this? What I would say is though it's not like a typical culture of church, I do know that there are occasions when believers do things like this. And I know personally, I know of times when some believers have had a need and I know of a certain believer who in fact sold what they had to give the others. So I think based on the situation and circumstance, this still happens. But it's not taken as a general rule because later on, you know, you would see the apostles. In fact, Paul the apostle, he writes later about everyone needing to work in order to sustain themselves. That he says, you know, don't just be lazy, don't be a busy body but, you know, earn and you sustain yourself. And that's the life example that Paul gave also because he was a tent maker himself. So what is enormous to be able to take care of yourself? And apostle Paul also says that one must be able to take care of his immediate family. Otherwise, if you abandon your immediate family, you're like an unbeliever. So sustaining oneself, sustaining your immediate family, it's a responsible thing to do. But in the case of, you know, an untoward incident taking place or some calamity or some distress, there is or this is applicable, you know, people sharing so selflessly with one another. I do know that it happens in churches, but it is more, it's not, how do I put it? It's not like the culture that you can observe, but it happens, right? Like quietly people do it without making a big noise. Does that answer your question, Christopher? Yes, in a way. So basically you think that it's at an individual level or, you know, maybe a group within a church. Where I'm coming from is really the church, you know, dictating this or not dictating, it's not probably not the right word to use. But, you know, making this as a sort of a foundational kind of approach to, you know, to share within the community or to believers in that particular church. Okay. So, Christopher, see the thing is if we make it a rule or if we make it mandatory that people have to even sell their own possessions to give into other people's lives, it can be dangerous. Because one is we're imposing it on everyone. So, when need arises, if, you know, it warrants for someone to sell and give, well and good. But otherwise, what I feel is happening these days is the church of Jerusalem, we'll see later, even next at the three, we'll see it was not well to do. It was, if you want to call it poor. So, they had to sell in order to give. But these days, when we want to give, we may not need to sell. We can give off what we have. You know what I mean? So, that also is actually happening. People give from what they have. So, you don't have to go to the extent of selling. Okay, great. Yes, thank you. Yes, Charles, you have a question. Yes, thank you so much, Pastor, for the opportunity. I am continuing with Elisha's question about water baptism. When you read from the book of John chapter three, verse five, Jesus answered, Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. And now you said that the water baptism is not a requirement. So, what was Jesus meaning with water and spirit to see the kingdom of God? Thank you. Okay, thank you, Charles. So, see Charles, we have to interpret scripture based on scripture. Okay, so here verse 38, it appears as if water baptism is a prerequisite or a requirement for salvation. But we know from other clear passages in scripture that when one believes in their heart and confesses to Lord Jesus, they are saved. It's a work of the spirit. But we affirm that work through our act of obedience, which is water baptism. Now, coming back to John chapter three and verse five, where Jesus says that one should be born of water and of the spirit. See, what he was talking about was two births. One is the natural birth, the other is the spiritual birth. So, waters of birth is how we refer to those of us who know how exactly birth takes place, the water breaks and the child comes out. So, those are the waters that John is talking about. So, he says one should be born of water is the water of birth. It's not the water of baptism, John's baptism at that time. That's not what he's referring to at all. And in fact, yeah, anyway, I'll leave it at that. So, it simply means the waters of birth, which is your first birth, and then you have to be born of the spirit, which is your second spiritual birth or being born again. So, does that help Charles? Okay, I didn't hear you, but I saw your mic unmuted. So, yes, Shri Kumar, please go ahead. Thank you, Pastor. I just want to, you know, it's connected with Brother Christopher's question. So, maybe I just fell to something as he was asking that, you know, Jesus said this thing that you should take, you know, in the Luke chapter 2235, that, you know, he says that he gives this instruction to the disciples not to take the post and other thing. But even in the, if you read, you know, 35 and 36, it was as you said, it's like nowadays we are not, you know, we are not supposed to sell the things, and I agree with that. And when Jesus said those things, here it very clearly says that in the 35th word, Luke 2235, and he said unto them, when I sent you without purse and the script and the shoes, let you anything. And they said nothing. And then 36 words he says, and then he said unto them, but now he had purse, let him take it. And likewise the script and he had no sword, let him sell his garments and buy one. So it means that it was on occasion to occasion when God actually led the people and it cannot be a doctrine. I just wanted to say that. Thank you. Yeah, sure. Thank you. So that added more clarity to the discussion. So yes, we must not make this doctrine and mandatory and say, you know, if the church is not this generous that people go to the extent of selling their positions and goods, you're not a giving church. That's not true. And moreover, this concept of giving to other believers can be abused. Sorry to put it very plainly, it can be. So we must not make it mandatory. But yes, of course, we will promote a culture of sharing and loving and upholding one another. And as and when required, if something like this needs to be done for people to even sell their own things and give to others, it can be done under the guidance of the leadership. Okay. All right. Oh, okay. Yes, sister. You have a question. Srupa. Ma'am, shall I add points to what has been asked first thing about this community which started sharing all that they had, they sold and kept it the Apostle's Feet. Nobody has asked them to do that. It was initiated by the Spirit of God in their hearts and they obeyed the Spirit's guidance. You never see any Apostle saying, please sell everything and bring them and put them at our feet. That is the first point I wanted to say. Okay. And the other thing, even now, there are certain communities in the world which live by this principle, acts to principle, and it is working out. And also, as believers, we have to love the people more than the whatever material things God has given us. Sometimes God may test us by asking us, no one can, Paul has clearly told in Corinthians, please, no one should give because somebody is forcing them. But they should give with their complete heart. And David also says, this heart is given by God. It is not something we put on. This is a heart which we give completely unto the Lord, which is given by the Lord. It's a great blessing. So I just wanted to add, nobody has forced them to sell their positions and give out of the love of God when they saw the people, the body of Christ in pain, in need. They sold everything and put it the Apostle's Feet and it was written there and they lacked nothing. They were all happy. Thank you. I just wanted to add. Yeah, thank you. Thank you so much, Mrs. Rupa. Makes complete sense. So it was voluntary. And of course, it was temporary, what we saw here. And praise God that the love of Christ was seen in what the Holy Spirit was doing in that community at this time. And we recognize that. So, yes, we will. Kennedy has something to share. Kennedy, yes, please. Just to add up on that, my dear sister Rupa said, I think they did it out of compassion. David Christ was very compassionate with us. So if there's a demonstration of how they hold their lives for being transformed. Thank you. Yeah. So true. They did it out of compassion. They did it because their lives were transformed. That also goes to show us the power of the gospel, how the gospel changed the people to such an extent that they were willing to love and give selflessly and to such a great amount that they were willing to give to one another. So yes, so very beautiful, isn't it? So we see the birth of the church. We see the empowering of the Holy Spirit. We see the boldness through the Holy Spirit. We see the wisdom of the Holy Spirit. We also see the manifestation of the spirit in the community. So there is unity. There is commitment to the word of God. There is commitment to the remembrance of what the Lord Jesus did. There is commitment to prayer. There is commitment. There is also the manifestation of the supernatural. There is a good reputation that the believers have among all the people. The believers are honored. The apostles are honored. It is only possible as a work of God. And it is very evident on the day of Pentecost. It is very evident in the first believing community. So verse 46 it says, So continuing daily with one God, again, unity. There is unity among the people. How often did they meet? Now again, these are all questions which people ask and they want to impose the same pattern on our communities today. It may work. It may not work. We have to really tailor the way we plan for our believing community or church as per our times. So here daily they met. It says continuing daily. So they met daily and it says one God in the temple. So they had a heart of unity. But even in practice as a gathering they met daily. They met in the temple and breaking bread from house to house. So they practiced communion in their small groups. If you want to call it their house groups. And they ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart. So such was their coming together. Verse 47, praising God and having favor with all people. And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved. So since then, since the time of the day of Pentecost, every day these people are practicing their faith. They are standing strong in their faith. And what happens when believers are like this daily new people are being added. So it's a glorious time. We would desire to be in a time like this where every day people are being saved through the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. So Sister Rupa, I can see your hand raised. Is this the previous comment or do you have something new to share? I forgot but one point I would like to add. Every day they used to gather and that way most of them there are proselytes coming from different parts of the world during Pentecost. It is somewhere I have read and they were all through this first church by meeting together every day. They were nurtured and discipled before they went back into their own countries. So I just wanted to add that man, thank you. Yeah, thank you. Thank you for that. So that's also powerful that people who were saved were discipled. They were equipped to go out and do God's work in their time. So we don't read about people going out but that's a fact. So those who came in and who were saved some of them went back to their places but some of them stayed on. And that's how that's what we refer to as the church of Jerusalem. So there was a gathering in Jerusalem that continued and that became the representatives of God in that city. So far we have seen the birth of the church. We've seen the birth of a loving and a powerful community. Now let's move on to Acts chapter 3 and see what is happening over here. Okay, are you all with me so far? It's going okay? Yes. Okay, nice. Sony, one person is fine with... Okay, all right. Yeah, I have some more responses here. Asha, Kong. Okay, all right. Christopher, Pratik, Abhishek. Thank you so much. Okay, good that you are in sync. So Acts chapter 3 says, now Peter and John went up together to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour. Okay, so what does this tell us? This tells us that the apostles continued in their Jewish traditions, some of their traditions, the good ones. What are some of the good ones? Prayer. Even Jesus had his times of prayer. So the Jews had certain periods of the day and they would go to the temple and worship. So that's what Peter and John are doing here. Peter and John are apostles. So you will also begin to see the leadership in the church kind of evolve. So we only heard Peter's name in Acts chapter 2, even in Acts chapter 1. End of that passage, it was Peter. Now it is Peter and John. Okay, Peter and John, they went up together to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour. So, you know, somewhere around afternoon time like 3 p.m. is when they had gone there. And a certain man, lame from his mother's womb was carried whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple, which is called Beautiful. Okay, so here was a person. What is the description of this person? He was lame from birth. So it says, lame from his mother's womb. Because he was lame, he was carried and he was laid how often? Daily at the gate of the temple, which is called as Beautiful. Okay, let me quickly show you a picture. Yes, come. My mistake. Okay. All right, showing you not quickly though. This is some navigation issues there. But I hope you can see this. Are you able to see a class? Okay, nice. So yeah, here you are. You can observe. So this is the temple and they go into the temple. And there are different sections of the temple here. This is on the temple mount. And a particular gate is called as the Gate Beautiful. And this is where, you know, you would have people begging for arms seated. The next section here is called as Solomon's porch. So during prayer times, you would have this entire space. You know, it will be filled with lots of people coming in for their routine prayer. Okay, so this is how it is. So you have the beautiful gate, beautiful. And then you have Solomon's porch over here. So why is this place termed as Gate Beautiful? Okay, so it was obviously a huge gate. It had some incredible artwork on it. They had put some silver and gold and made it a grand gate. So that is the reason it's known as the Gate Beautiful or the Beautiful Gate because it had nice art on it and silver and gold sort of covering the surface. So at this gate, obviously people would notice beggars sitting there as they went for worship. So along with the beggars, other beggars, is there this lame person who is lame from his birth? Okay, then what happens next? So called Beautiful to ask arms from those who entered the temple. So this was his regular practice. And Jews being generous as they were and going by their culture, they would give something to these beggars. Verse 3, who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, asked for arms. So he saw these two men. He had no idea who Peter is, who John is. He just thought, okay, two men are going, let me ask them for help. So what kind of help will a beggar need? He is not able to work for himself. So his minimal expectation would be some money. His minimal expectation would be some food. That will help me sustain myself. So that's all he was looking for. If he got anything more than that, he would have been blessed. So with that expectation, he reached out to Peter and John. So he, okay, where are we? Verse 3, who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, asked for arms. Verse 4, and fixing his eyes on him with John Peter said, so now the beggar is asking and both John and Peter are looking at the beggar. They're giving the beggar the attention and they ask for his attention. So in verse 4, they say, look at us. So now what will happen to a beggar, a poor beggar? His expectation will rise. Why are these people asking me to look at them? Maybe they want to give me more money or maybe they want to invite me home. Maybe there is something more that is coming my way. So his expectation rises. And verse 5, so he gave them his attention. So the beggar looks back at Peter and John, expecting to receive something from them. Then Peter said, silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have, I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk. So the first part of what Peter says is quite disappointing because that's the expectation of the beggar to get some money. At least, and Peter says, silver and gold I don't have. And as I told you, the early church as an organization, as an institution, they were not rich. They were probably a few weeks into the life of the church and they don't have big resources. So compare them to the established Jewish society there and the Jewish religion and what they possessed. Peter and John as a community had nothing. So they were honest with the beggar. They say, look, we are at Gate Beautiful. You see all the gold and silver, but this is the reality. Silver and gold I don't have. But what I do have, I give you what they had was actually better than these earthly resources. And that was the power and the authority of the name of Jesus, which they carried and they used it. So what do they say? They say in the, or Peter says, in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk. He gave of that authority. He gave of that faith in the name of Jesus and he commands this man to rise up and walk. Now think together with me. This man has not walked since birth. How can someone have the courage to say in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk by the Holy Spirit. And also, you know, when we read about the gifts of the Spirit, there is something, one of the gifts, it's the gift of faith. So we see there that unusual faith arises in us by the Holy Spirit when we can expect God to do things that cannot be done otherwise. So that gift of faith was operational in Peter, no wonder. He talks to a man like this and he tells him in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. See the boldness again, introducing the exact person who was controversial up until that point. He says, Jesus, he's calling him Christ, which in itself is a big thing. And he makes it more specific of Nazareth in the name of this person because he's the Messiah, rise up and walk. So he issues a command in the name of Jesus, verse seven. And then what does he do? He's continuing to operate in that gift of faith, verse seven. And he took him by the hand and lifted him up and immediately his feet and ankles, ankle bones receive strength. Wow, that's a miracle. Peter just gave some support and scriptures tell us immediately his feet, his ankle bones receive strength. So he leaping up and stood and walked and entered the temple with them walking, leaping and praising God. Wow, that is amazing. Somebody who has, who was carried, you know, at that point to sit at the gate is now what he is leaping. He stood up, he walked, entered the temple with them. Again, it says walking, leaping and praising God. So a supernatural work of God was done in the sight of all the people, verse nine and all the people saw him walking and praising God. Wow, it would have been, you know, unbelievable for them to see this man and it says daily. So these people must have seen him for weeks, if not, you know, they probably would have even seen him for months or years. And here he is finally walking and praising God. So a great work of wonder was done in the midst of the people on that day through Peter and John, verse 10. Then they knew that it was he who sat begging arms at the beautiful gate of the temple and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him. Now we, I know that your batch has completed that course called the keys to supernatural ministry. And why is the supernatural important? You see here, one is it expressed the compassion of God for that lame man. But at the same time, what's happening? It draws the attention of the people. So the people saw him walking and praising God. And then what, you know, they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him. And so they were interested in this God and what he can do. So let me just come back here and look at the chat. Okay, so Elasha says there is a need power in the name of Jesus. Say, is that a comment or a question that you have? An observation or more like a comment. Should I wait or? Sure, sure. Please go ahead. Please go ahead. I just, I just, I just wanted to comment based on what you said. So that I think it's something that we should not miss. Because in the church circle, somehow, somehow people have just used Peter's statement as a justification for remaining broke or just encouraging poverty, you know. And I like the context you brought in. They had left fishing, church has just started, you know, they weren't doing anything much. So they didn't have much per se, you know. So when he was saying it, it wasn't saying it as a justification that, oh, as Christians, we can't have, we can't have money. We can't have savings, you know, and all that. It was just basically because at that moment, you know, they were not just really financially buoyant at that moment. So it wasn't a justification that, oh, you can be highly anointed, and you don't need to have material wealth and all that, you know, and all that, and all that. So I think it's a very good observation you just brought up. And I just wanted to buttress that again. Thank you. Thank you so much. Yes. Thank you. Thanks. Thank you say glad that you observed that. And, you know, it is said that the statement Peter made was a good statement when he said, silver and gold, I do not have but what I have I give you in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and work. Now, what if he said silver and gold I have, but I don't have anything else to give you. And he couldn't demonstrate the power of God. Right. So, having well, not having well, you know, that is one part of it. And as you rightly pointed out, we are, we need to be good stewards of the resources that God gives us. And even as a community or a church family, we can, you know, grow in these things and develop ourselves. That would be good. That would be ideal. But the other side of it is we have to grow in the anointing and the power of God. And we should always be able to tell people who come to us in the name of what I do have. I do have the authority. I do have the anointing. And in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk. You know, that second part should never be taken away from the church. If we are a church who cannot say that and we have silver and gold doesn't make any sense. There's no meaning to a church like that. That has the resources, but does not is not able to exercise its authority in the name of Jesus. Okay, so just adding to our discussion here and Elisha says in verse seven Peter helped the lame man to rise any lesson in that for us. Okay, so the lesson is when the gift of faith takes over, we do as we are led by the Holy Spirit. Can I imitate what Peter did? Can I go and help a person who has never walked, help him rise up and say, you try to walk now? Well, nothing wrong with it. But let me, it's important for me to be led by the Holy Spirit. You know, I cannot copy these styles of ministering as a formula. It will never work. Sometimes, even in the ministry of Jesus, we see he spoke a word and people were healed. He said stretch out your hand. The leper was healed. He went and touched somebody. They were healed. He rebuked the fever. The fever left. So he was doing different things as led by the Holy Spirit. So there is no formula, Elisha. So though we observe Peter helping the lame man rise up, yeah, it's just the way Peter did it. So I can't say that we can follow what Peter did every time. On this, we are led by the Holy Spirit. Okay, so I hope that answers your question. Christopher, please go ahead. You have something to say. Yeah, just two observations. One is with regards to this, you know, this topic about, you know, I guess poverty and, you know, not having the means to, you know, have income. Again, I think I'm not, I mean, I'm not trying to point out something that possibly is obvious, but there are nomination churches that are that take a vow of poverty. That means they don't earn any money for any services they provide, they provide, or even, you know, they, they're not, they should not be taking any money, you know, in the case of someone. Now, a relative of theirs who was, you know, build some money to them, they will not, they will not take that money. But on the other hand, there are churches, obviously, the nomination churches that are, that over the years are rich and able to, you know, you know, sustain and take care of the, of the, of the, of the priests in that ministry, or in that church. So, I mean, this is just an observation, maybe, you know, that maybe beyond that. The other point is actually with regards to the miracles that were performed by the apostles and even later, where I'm not sure about this, but I don't know, I don't think that they even, you know, spoke to the people who had, who they had healed, to tell them that they should not, you know, talk about it. And versus Jesus, I mean, during his time, there were numerous occasions where he mentioned that, you know, he, you know, don't, don't, you know, don't talk about it, don't mention about it. So I just wanted to get your view on, on that part, on, you know, the difference in, in, in how this was communicated, what this was minister, not minister, but how this was actually done, you know, during Jesus, by Jesus and subsequently after, after, afterwards by the apostles and later. Sure, sure. Sure, Christopher. Yes. So your first observation about the vow of poverty, we don't see any such vow in scripture. We do know that, you know, there were occasions when Jesus said, okay, don't take a lot with you, you just go with what you have. But that is not to say that, you know, you can never earn in your life or, or that you, you don't receive money from anybody. So that, that was not the point that Jesus was making. It was about depending on him in that particular scenario. So this vow of poverty for an entire lifetime, I mean, I don't know, I don't see any basis in scripture for it. But if people are led to do something like that, it's their own call. And yes, of course, you know, the, when people do take such a call, they sometimes are part of institutions that can sustain them, right? So technically, they're not receiving an income for their services, but they still have the bare minimum taken care of by an organization or something organization. So yeah, we, we observe all this around us. And yeah, I don't know what we can take from it. But yeah, there is no scriptural basis to that, as far as I'm concerned, of poverty. Okay. The next thing that you said is Christopher, could you please come again? You said miracles. No, I would just say that Jesus. Oh yeah, I remember. Yes, thank you. So in the case of Jesus, there was, you know, something often uprising, starting off where people were already opposing him, questioning him, the Pharisees, the Sadducees, they were greatly troubled by Jesus and his ministry. So Jesus was just trying to be wise and not, you know, create more trouble for himself, which is why quite often he used to tell the people, okay, keep it to yourself. Just go report it to, you know, the temple priest, but don't go and spread the word because it would become very difficult for him to minister in that space. So that was his intention. However, when we look at, you know, something like Peter and John ministering to the layman here, they're not worried about, you know, being caught and all of that. So the context is different in that sense. Is that okay, Christopher? Yes, I mean, I think, I mean, it may not be there in the Bible, but there may be times I think that possibly even, you know, the apostles, you know, did the same thing because I mean, the uprising and the sort of protest that were there during the time when the apostles actually performed these miracles. I think it was also there, you know, I mean, they were threatened, they were put in jail and so again, I just wanted to get something glad to be on. Sure. See, another reason why I compared it in that way is you will see later coming up in Acts chapter four, when these people are threatened, they actually pray and ask God to help them do more in the name of Jesus, let more miracles take place, let more signs and wonders take place. So, you know, you somehow see them going very boldly and continuing the works of God as opposed to, yes, Jesus was also doing it, but he did instruct people not to go and spread the word just to, you could say delay what was to happen to him, you know, as a trial and all that. So, anyway, we'll leave that discussion there. I'll come to Kennedy. Yes, Kennedy. Thank you. Thank you for giving me this chance again. Well, what I'm going to ask, how would you compare this beggar in the case of Peter and John in relation to these people who preach prosperity gospel? Okay. How would I, how would I compare? Yeah, these people who preach prosperity gospel. See, how would I compare is that whenever we use the term prosperity gospel, we call it prosperity gospel because it's kind of extreme. It does the word of God say he will bless us, he will bless us financially, he'll prosper us. Yes, he does. Okay, so being blessed is part of the gospel, but when it is taken to an extreme, that is prosperity gospel. So, one thing that we can say from what Peter and John did is, yes, even if you don't have resources, when you walk by faith in God, mighty things can be accomplished for the kingdom of God. So, in that sense, you know, it is different from the prosperity gospel because the prosperity gospel would say, no, you need to have. So, you know, you claim it, you name it, you claim it and God will make you rich and stuff like that. But whether or not you're rich, you can still flow in the anointing and in faith. That's what Peter and John are teaching us through their example. Okay, so I hope that would answer your question. Kennedy, does it make sense? Yes, no, yes, no, yes. Okay, alright, so maybe I just initiated the answer and, you know, because that's the way your brother said, they used that one to people to be poor, you know, as church leaders they're supposed to be poor. But when you hear the prosperity gospel, you can claim anything by faith and get it. It does it contradicts you. Yeah, so both are extremes, no Kennedy, that's what I'm saying. There is a balance in God's word. So prosperity gospel, I don't know if there's a term called poverty gospel, but, you know, both are extremes, poverty gospel, prosperity gospel. We are in between. We have the balance of, you know, living a responsible life, being accountable, being good stewards and being blessed, being prosperous. So we'll stop here and we'll continue in the next class. Let me just pray and close for today. Heavenly Father, we thank and praise you for Lord, your presence with us and Lord, thank you Lord for giving us the understanding today Lord, as we went over the book of Acts. Father, we pray that you will continue to strengthen us. Lord and help us learn many things that we would can live for you Lord the way people lived in the Acts of the Apostles Father God. Thank you once again Lord for this time in Jesus name we pray. Amen. Thank you everybody and bye for now. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. We'll connect in the next class. Thank you. Bye.
