The primary reason the religious leaders hated Jesus and the Apostles was because of jealousy.

God moved in such powerful ways in the lives of the Apostles that the religious leaders became very jealous when they saw the miracles being performed and the crowds of people responding to the gospel and this lead these leaders to do evil to try to stop the move of the Holy Spirit.

Ananias and Sapphira lied to the Holy Spirit and were judged immediately by the Lord.

Praying in spite of opposition is imperative for the believer in Christ. Peter and John refused to be intimidated by the Sanhedrin and they prayed for boldness along with the believers

Pastor Marcus was the speaker at Village Baptist's Church Anniversary. The theme of the anniversary was prayer.
