Acts 5:12-42 | Obedience

1. The Apostles are once again arrested, and give bold testimony to their eyewitness accounts of the resurrection of Jesus before the Supreme Court. How do they explain their possession of such courage?  Acts 5:32

2. The word, flogged, in verse 40 (dero in the original language) literally means to flay or skin. This is an appropriate word since most of a man's back was laid open after 39 strokes. How is it that these men could walk away from such treatment rejoicing? Psalm 73:23-28

3. No matter what you're going through just now, try to remember with the psalmist, the nearness of God is your good. In this life, we have tribulation, but the Risen Christ (who sits at that place of all power in heaven) has overcome all such pain and will strengthen us here as we serve Him until He ushers us there.

See you Sunday!
