A companion Bible study from Vince Baker Ministries
How do believers use the power Jesus promised?
Jesus says they will become His witnesses. Acts 4 shows the church asking God for boldness when that witness becomes costly.
Read the passage in context
The promise in the title belongs to the opening of Acts. Following it into chapter 4 shows the same theme continuing after Pentecost.
From the passage to daily life
Consider how prayer, speech, and community appear together when believers face threats. The apostles bring their experience back to the gathered church.
Discussion and reflection
- How do believers use the power Jesus promised?
Jesus says they will become His witnesses. Acts 4 shows the church asking God for boldness when that witness becomes costly.
- Can believers pray for boldness again after Pentecost?
Acts 4 records just such a prayer. The group asks God to strengthen its witness in a new situation.
Put the study into practice
Turn Acts 4:29 into a brief prayer before a difficult conversation.
