    The disciples were bold in their witness to what Jesus Christ had done. Attempts by the authorities to silence them failed. God had called them to be his witnesses and they could not keep silent.

    The experience of Peter and John gives a clear picture of persecution.

    The early church was doing well. However, last time (Acts 5:1-11) we saw the introduction and the punishment of hypocrisy as it entered the church for the first time. We saw that it was Satan’s way of trying to stop the growth of the church. Well Satan continues in tonight’s passage ...read more

    Contributed by Chuck Sligh on Apr 13, 2015
     | 6,357 views

    In Acts 5 are 3 attitudes about Jesus and the preaching of the cross. One is satanic & one SEEMS reasonable & sensible, but is really a product of human wisdom & leads to error. Only one is biblical & blessed by God. Part 1 deals with the first 2.

    Obey God

    Contributed by Craig Condon on May 26, 2015
     | 5,465 views

    When we obey God by doing things such as loving an enemy, people will be amazed because it is not the logical thing to do. Obeying God is the Christian thing to do. When we obey God, we don't know what the result will be, but God will bless our obedience

    Acts 5:27-42 is a story about obeying God regardless of the consequences imposed by mankind. Like Peter, we as Christians are to obey the Lord rather than man in situations where the two are in conflict. For example, when obeying our political leaders would cause us to do something that goes ...read more
