#243 - Unstoppable: The Gospel Cannot Be Chained - Acts 4:1-4

In this episode of The AL Pastor Podcast with Brian Overturf, we explore Acts 4:1-4, where Peter and John’s bold proclamation of the risen Christ leads to their sudden arrest by the religious authorities. Drawing from Stanley Horton’s Acts Commentary and the Zondervan Exegetical Commentary on the New Testament (ZECNT), we unpack the theological and historical backdrop of the Sadducees’ opposition, the apostles' unwavering courage, and the unstoppable spread of the gospel.

Despite being imprisoned overnight, their message could not be silenced—thousands believed. This passage teaches us that bold faithfulness to Christ comes with a cost, that the resurrection of Jesus is the foundation of our hope, and that no opposition can hinder the power of the gospel. As we reflect on their story, we are challenged to stand firm in our own witness, knowing that the truth of Christ will always prevail.
