The Bold Ones
May 17, 2026 • Pete Pawelek
What gives ordinary people the courage to stand boldly for Jesus in a world that pushes back against truth?
In Acts 4, Peter and John face pressure, threats, and opposition for proclaiming the resurrection of Jesus Christ — yet they refuse to stay silent.
Boldness is born from being with Jesus.
The early church had no political power, no cultural influence, and no worldly security, but they were filled with the Holy Spirit and convinced that Jesus was alive.
The same Spirit that empowered the believers in Acts still empowers followers of Christ today to stand firm, speak truth, and faithfully proclaim the gospel.
Have people recognized that you have been with Jesus?
