#246 - Peter and John Stand Firm Before the Sanhedrin - Acts 4.14-22

In this episode of The AL Pastor Podcast, Pastor Brian and Noah continue their deep dive into Acts 4, covering verses 14-22. The discussion highlights the undeniable power of a transformed life, as the Sanhedrin struggles to silence Peter and John despite the undeniable miracle of a healed man standing before them. As the religious leaders deliberate behind closed doors, they attempt to assert control, issuing threats and commands to stop preaching in the name of Jesus. But Peter and John, filled with the Holy Spirit, boldly proclaim their allegiance to God over man, marking one of the first acts of civil disobedience in the early church.

Brian and Noah also explore the tension between worldly authority and divine calling, drawing parallels to modern challenges in standing firm for faith amidst opposition. They discuss the Sanhedrin’s political maneuvering, the contrast between earthly credentials and spiritual boldness, and the critical importance of checking our own motives when defending the gospel.

This episode is a call to courage, reminding believers that true boldness comes from walking with Jesus—and that no earthly power can silence the truth of the gospel.
