Acts 5:27–42 | Pastor Greg: Enraging the Religious Mafia
Hauled before the Sanhedrin, the apostles declare they must obey God rather than men and preach the simple gospel: Jesus died for our sins according to the Scriptures, was buried, rose on the third day, and was seen. Though the council rages, Gamaliel urges caution; the apostles are beaten and released, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer for His name, and they keep teaching daily that Jesus is the Christ. This chapter calls us to fearless, Spirit-filled witness, to discern truth amid counterfeits, and to let Jesus—Lord of all—have our ear.
