Acts 5:12-42 - Obeying God

Main idea: Obeying God will result in more persecution but always ends in joy.

1. Obeying God instead of men will result in envy
2. Obeying God instead of men might result in death
3. Obeying God instead of men will result in persecution

Discussion Questions:
1. What does it mean to obey God rather than men in your current context (work, school, family, etc.)?
2. Why is it significant that Peter mentions both repentance and forgiveness of sins as gifts given by the exalted Jesus?
3. What might it look like for a Christian today to obey God rather than men—especially when there’s real cost involved?
4. When persecution or opposition arises, is your natural response fear, silence, compromise—or joy?
