Standing Firm
Feb 23, 2025 • Pastor Paul Andris
Acts 5:12-42 highlights the apostles' bold faith, God's miraculous power, and perseverance amid persecution. The apostles performed signs and wonders, preached publicly despite opposition, and were arrested but freed by an angel. Confronted again, Peter declared obedience to God over men, angering the religious leaders. Gamaliel advised caution, leading to their release after a beating. Instead of fear, they rejoiced in suffering and continued preaching daily. The message encourages believers to stand firm, proclaim the gospel fearlessly, and trust in God's power despite challenges.
