How Believers Live
¯Unlimited Loyalty
Bible Reading: Acts 4:1-22; 5:12-42
Main Idea: In all situations, obey God first.
MEMORY VERSE:
“Peter and the other apostles replied: “We must obey God rather than human beings!”
- Acts 5:29
It’s not always easy to do what God wants us to do. Sometimes the temptation or wanting to go along with what everyone else is doing is very strong. Some of the early Christians we will be reading about in Acts, had to make that choice; go along with what everyone else is telling them to do or face the trouble by obeying God.
Read Acts 5:17-21, 26-29
This Bible reading is about how the disciples performed many miracles through God’s power and how the High Priest were jealous so the put the disciples in prison. Something amazing happened that very night.
1. Why were the high priest and his associates jealous?
2. What was the “new life”?
Read Acts 5:41-42
These two verses are about how the disciples felt about the punishment they received for leading others to Jesus.
1. How did they respond?
Application:
We all have a choice. Jump in and do what everyone else is doing or telling you to do, or do what God says. If you don’t know, pray about that this week. ‘God, please help me to obey you more. If I’m in a difficult situation, please tell me what you want to do. I love you. Amen.”
