Arrested and Beaten

Arrested and Beaten

As Peter, John, and some of the other disciples were sitting arrested in a dungeon, an angel of God came and rescued them. The angel commissioned them to go back into the temple and preach to the people. They obeyed and were arrested again. Just as the Sanhedrin was getting ready to put the men to death, a Pharisee named Gamaliel spoke up and reasoned with them again, rescuing the disciples. Though the disciples were beaten again and again, they rejoiced in getting to share the good news of God with the people.

Acts 5:18
In our last episode, we heard how God dealt with Ananias a Saphira for their greed and deception. He was showing the early church that sin was still hurtful to God and costly to His children. Today we’ll hear how the disciples continue to preach the truth of Christ's risen and the suffering they begin to endure for the sake of the Gospel. Despite the opposition and even imprisonment they face, these faithful servants remain joyful in affliction as they hope and trust in the Lord. And we’ll hear how God uses their circumstances to bring the message of salvation to more and more people.
