When Kingdoms Collide

Argentine Mennonite Church

When I preached last Sunday, the text I used went all the way to the end of chapter 5. My focus was on looking at Professor Gamaliel’s thinking that helped navigate a very difficult situation. He did not try and convince them of an new truth that they not already believe. Rather he simply take the elements of their existing world-view and come up with an action plan that would avoid spiritual harm and keep open the possibility of discovering the truth of who Jesus Christ might be. So, we looked at how professor Gamaliel saved the day but we also looked at how his reasoning can be applied to the issues we are facing today. But there is something we did not look at. And that is the last three verses of last Sunday’s text. This deals with what happened to the Apostles after their Sanhedrin clash and that is what I am going to focus on this week.
