It takes tremendous courage to stand firm in times of opposition and persecution when every fiber of our being tells us to turn and run. As the early church set out to do as Jesus asked—to be his witnesses throughout the world—they continually faced hostile situations. Telling people about Jesus became an illegal act. How do we as God’s people react when we’re told today to keep quiet about our faith?

In this message, Pete Briscoe teaches from Acts 4 to help us continue the work started over 2,000 years ago—to tell the world about Jesus—and to do it boldly.

Scripture: Acts 1:12-26; Acts 4:23-31
