Acts Explained: A Bible Study

Stand Up And Speak Out


Listen Later

What does Acts 5 teach us about courage to speak the gospel?

In this expository sermon on Acts 5, Dr. Toby Holt shows that the enemies of Christ did not fear church buildings, programs, or reputation nearly as much as they feared the clear preaching of the gospel. The apostles are arrested and warned, yet God sends them back to speak the words of life. This sermon presses the church to recover confidence that the gospel itself is the power of God.

Questions this sermon answers:

1. Why were the apostles arrested in Acts 5?

2. Why did God free them and send them back to speak publicly?

3. How should Christians respond when they are pressured to be silent?

Acts 5 reminds us that the church's courage rests in obeying God rather than men and in trusting Christ to use His Word.
