Acts 5:17-42 - \

“Thank God for the grace to be disgraced. Be careful, we don't let the cultural pressure of the Sanhedrin start to pressure us into shutting up about Jesus. We have to speak, we can't conform to the social norms of silence. We have to disobey civilly because we are the voices for Jesus in the city because it is from God. It's not dependent on human hands, and the move of God will not be stopped. It's amazing how it's always like the defeats of the church that turn into these amazing beautiful pictures. The death of Christ is the big one. The fall of Rome, oh no, what would the church do? … I think the Lord asked us to embrace our weakness because it shows God strong.”
