Obey God Rather Than Men

Resisting tyranny is a loving thing. It is the necessitated response of the church to those authorities which seek to supplant God and exercise absolute authority over men. It is God alone who is sovereign, and when the edicts of men contradict those of God, our allegiance will belong to the King of kings. Listen in, as we examine the boldness of Peter in response to the demands of the Sanhedrin to stop preaching, and what great value this passage has for the church today.
