Pastor Grant examines how Peter and John responded when arrested for preaching Christ, revealing timeless principles for facing opposition while maintaining faithful witness. Their extraordinary boldness came not from education or status but from having been with Jesus, leading the religious authorities to recognize Christ's influence in their lives.

• The apostles faced persecution despite living in complete obedience to Christ
• Jesus had warned his followers that persecution would come their way
• The Sanhedrin was astonished by the boldness of "uneducated common men"
• Religious leaders couldn't deny the miracle—the healed man stood before them
• Peter and John declared they must obey God rather than human authorities
• They modeled yielding to the Holy Spirit, obeying Christ's call, and trusting Jesus above all else
• Throughout church history, ordinary believers have shown extraordinary courage in persecution
• Our faith often wavers when we focus on ourselves rather than Jesus as the hero of our story
• The challenge is to trust that what Jesus offers is better than anything this world threatens to take away

If you've never trusted Christ as your Savior, today can be your day of salvation. If your faith is wavering, confess this to God and be restored—He is faithful to forgive and cleanse from all unrighteousness.
