A study from Vince Baker Ministries
How do I become bold in my Christian faith?
In Acts 4, the believers name the threats they face and ask God for boldness to speak His Word. Paul makes a similar request from prison. Both examples point to a purpose for courage: making the Gospel known. Joshua’s charge also ties courage to keeping God’s instruction close in a moment of responsibility.
Courage to Speak and Act in Faith
The sayings use forceful images for fear. Read them beside the believers' prayer in Acts. Their circumstances gave them real reasons to be afraid, and their prayer brought the threat into the open. Name the pressure honestly, then identify the faithful action you can take with the support of others.
Put one quote into practice
Choose a situation where you have been avoiding an honest, kind conversation. Pray for clarity and for the person who will hear you. Write the one sentence you want to communicate and say it plainly. Give the other person room to answer.
