Unit 30 Session 3
THE CHURCH STANDS FIRM
ACTS 4
When Peter and John were arrested and warned not to preach Jesus, they responded that they could not stop proclaiming the risen Savior.
Much like Jesus Himself, the apostles soon faced hostility from worldly leaders. The Jewish leaders, in particular, were threatened by those who followed Jesus. Jesus' disciples were seen as a rebellious sect who would not submit to the Jewish leaders. In light of the recent healing of the man born lame, Jewish leaders arrested the apostles and questioned them the next day. Peter and John used these questions to once again proclaim the truth about Jesus.
Points to consider:
✞ God's people testify about the risen Savior.
* How can you more boldly proclaim Christ with
the Spirit's power?
✞ God's people refuse to be silenced about
the Risen Savior.
* What happens when we fear people rather
than God?
* What are some ways people face persecution
today for telling the good news of Jesus?
✞ God's people pray for boldness to proclaim
the risen Savior.
* How do we cultivate more corporate prayer for
the work of God's mission in our lives?
* What are ways we can respond in obedience to
God's plan to bring salvation to others who don't
yet know Him?
