Summary
Acts 4 teaches that moving forward in faith requires facing fear with boldness rooted in the Holy Spirit's power. Peter and John's courageous witness before the council, despite threats, demonstrates how corporate prayer and trust in Christ's sovereignty empower believers to overcome opposition and advance the gospel.
Highlights
Boldness is courageous confidence rooted not in personality or circumstance but rooted in faith in Christ regardless of opposition.
When you face opposition, don't get discouraged. That often means you are a threat to the enemy.
If Jesus Christ is for you and if Jesus Christ is with you, you can let go of fear. You can face your fears with boldness not because you're awesome but because your Savior is awesome and your Savior is strong.
