We Must Obey God Rather Than Men (Acts 5:17-42) - Session 11

The apostles are arrested for a second time for telling people about Jesus. The apostles are again ordered by the Sanhedrin to not preach Jesus, and they say they  must obey God rather than men.  What would you do if it were illegal to tell others about Christ?  In this session we find that there is sometimes a price to be paid for being a follower of Jesus, but the enemies of the cross cannot shut up the message of the good news in Jesus. We see the apostles arrested, an angel getting them out of prison, and the apostles arrested again. We also see the apostles beaten for following Jesus, yet they rejoice.  Will speaking about Jesus cost us anything?Should Christians soften our message to keep ourselves out of trouble?Does Gamaliel give good advice or bad?Do painful circumstances mean that God has abandoned His followers? Support the showThank you for listening!!  Please give us a five-star rating to help your podcast provider's algorithm spread RTTB among their listeners. You can find free study and leader resources at the following link - Resource Page - Reasoning Through the BiblePlease prayerfully consider supporting RTTB to help us to continue providing content and free resources.
