Week 10: An Invincible Church: Persecution of the Apostles

Day 1
Acts 5:17-32

The apostles were jailed, freed by an angel, captured again, and brought before the people who imprisioned them. But through all of this, they didn't even begin to water down their message. In fact, they did just the opposite. When asked why they'd violated orders, they basically said the only One they obeyed was God. What id we had the same attitude? What if we weren't afraid of offending people or didn't care about our reputations? What if we were bold like the apostles and shared our faith without worrying about the consequences? does this sound extreme? Truth is, this is exactly what the Church is supposed to be doing. God has given us the power. What are we doing with it?

As a Christian in today's society, you'll face persecution. What can you learn from today's story about the apostles?

God made you spiritually invincible. Pray that God will give you a spirit of boldness.
