The Apostles are once again persecuted for sharing the Gospel. Despite the opposition, God took care of them. When they were physically kept from obeying God, angels were sent to open the prison. When they were emotionally kept from obeying God, The Holy Spirit did a work in their lives that made them men of courage where once they had fled. When they were even threatened in order to stop obeying God, they fell back on the reasons they had to trust and obey God rather than men.

1. In a world in rebellion against God, obedience to Him will be opposed.

2. God is the only One who can change our hearts and lives from their core.

3. The answer to fear and distraction is focusing on who God is and informed reasons to trust Him.
