A 13-slide PowerPoint presentation for the Week 27 Seminary PowerPoint: Acts 4-5
"Peter and John were arrested and imprisoned for healing and testifying in the name of Jesus Christ. They were later released and instructed to not speak or teach in His name. Yet Peter and John continued to testify of Jesus Christ, and they were again arrested and imprisoned. An angel delivered them from prison and told them to return and continue preaching of Christ, which they did. Jewish leaders had them arrested again and beaten. The leaders commanded them to stop preaching of Christ, but Peter and John replied that they ought to obey God rather than people. Peter and John rejoiced that they were able to suffer persecution for Jesus Christ. As you study today, think about how you can increase your desire to obey God over anyone else."
