How were Christ’s apostles able to stand firm against opposition from the religious rules and leaders of their day? How can we as Christians boldly proclaim the gospel in situations that are overwhelming or intimidating? How does the Holy Spirit equip and empower us for the work of ministry? What role does prayer play when it comes to our gospel witness?

In his sermon, “Go Boldly,” centered on Acts 3:1-4:31, Pastor Josiah answers these questions as he shows through God’s word how the Holy Spirit, accompanied by Peter and John’s faithfulness, equipped them to boldly proclaim the gospel regardless of the circumstances.

The Holy Spirit that empowered the apostles with the courage and strength to faithfully proclaim the gospel in the face of opposition and persecution is the same Holy Spirit that is alive and active in every believer, working to equip us to be bold in our proclamation and stand firm in our faith today.
