The Freedom to Proclaim Christ

We have now reached one of the most important parts of the teaching of the Book of Acts; that part which is related to what each and every preacher who is attempting to be faithful to the word of God ought to do when he is told that he cannot teach any longer in the name of Jesus. The answer is, that he ought always to obey God rather than men. This principle applies not just to preachers, but to all Christians. So this morning I want to speak to you about the freedom to proclaim Christ. 1st, I would like to show you that the freedom to proclaim Christ normally takes place in a “temple” setting. (verses 24-26) 2ndly – I want to show you that this freedom is sometimes challenged by wicked religious men. (verses 27 and 28) And 3rd - That this freedom to preach and to be a witness for Jesus Christ both comes from the Holy Spirit and is witnessed to by the Holy Spirit. (verses 29-32)
