This sermon walks through Acts 5:33–42 and explores why the apostles rejoiced after being beaten for preaching Jesus. It highlights Gamaliel’s counsel, the biblical call to rejoice in persecution for righteousness’ sake, and practical cautions against seeking suffering or suffering for the wrong reasons.

The message encourages believers to live righteously, keep their eyes on heaven, and find boldness and clarity when opposition arises, trusting God’s ultimate victory.
