How to Use Notes

This is a guide in using fill in the blank notes, free notes, and what you can do with them.

First off, sometimes we will have fill in the blank options for you. These will look like this:

If you type something up there that is incorrect, the blue line will turn red, and give you the option to reveal the answer. You can do that or type the correct response and the line will turn green.

Secondly, you can type in whatever notes you want using the icon that looks like the one below this statement on the right.


Whatever you type on that, will stay in your own personal note!

Lastly, you can send yourself your note to your email to save. We recommend you doing this because we will need to update the notes each week.

Be Bold: Pray Boldly - 10/22/23


“At that time you won’t need to ask me for anything. I tell you the truth, you will ask the Father directly, and he will grant your request because you use my name. You haven’t done this before. Ask, using my name, and you will receive, and you will have abundant joy.”
—John 16:23-24 NLT


“Peter and John went to the Temple one afternoon to take part in the three o’clock prayer service. As they approached the Temple, a man lame from birth was being carried in. Each day he was put beside the Temple gate, the one called the Beautiful Gate, so he could beg from the people going into the Temple. When he saw Peter and John about to enter, he asked them for some money. Peter and John looked at him intently, and Peter said, “Look at us!” The lame man looked at them eagerly, expecting some money. But Peter said, “I don’t have any silver or gold for you. But I’ll give you what I have. In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, get up and walk! Then Peter took the lame man by the right hand and helped him up. And as he did, the man’s feet and ankles were instantly healed and strengthened. He jumped up, stood on his feet, and began to walk! Then, walking, leaping, and praising God, he went into the Temple with them. All the people saw him walking and heard him praising God. When they realized he was the lame beggar they had seen so often at the Beautiful Gate, they were absolutely astounded! They all rushed out in amazement to Solomon’s Colonnade, where the man was holding tightly to Peter and John.”
—Acts 3:1-11 NLT

I. Bold Living creates Opportunities


“If the world hates you, remember that it hated me first… ‘A slave is not greater than the master.’ Since they persecuted me, naturally they will persecute you.”
—John 15:18,20, NLT


“But I will send you the Advocate, the encourager—the Spirit of truth. He will come to you from the Father and will testify all about me. And you must also testify about me because you have been with me from the beginning of my ministry.
—John 15:26-27, NLT


“For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.”
—Ephesians 2:10, NLT


“You rejected [Jesus] this holy, righteous one and instead demanded the release of a murderer. You killed the author of life, but God raised him from the dead. And we are witnesses of this fact! “Through faith in the name of Jesus, this man was healed—and you know how crippled he was before. Faith in Jesus’ name has healed him before your very eyes…Now repent of your sins and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped away.”
—Acts 3:15-19, NLT

II. Bold living creates a Witness that can’t be denied


“While Peter and John were speaking to the people, they were confronted by the priests, the captain of the Temple guard, and some of the Sadducees. These leaders were very disturbed that Peter and John were teaching the people that through Jesus there is a resurrection of the dead. They arrested them and, since it was already evening, put them in jail until morning. But many of the people who heard their message believed it… so the number of men who believed now totaled about 5,000.”
—Acts 4:1-4, NLT


“For the Sadducees say there is no resurrection or angels or spirits…” Acts 23:8 NLT


“Are we being questioned today because we’ve done a good deed for a crippled man? Do you want to know how he was healed? Let me clearly state to all of you and to all the people of Israel that he was healed by the powerful name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, the man you crucified but whom God raised from the dead…There is salvation in no one else! God has given no other name under heaven by which we must be saved.”
—Acts 4:9-12, NLT


“The members of the council were amazed when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, for they could see that they were ordinary men with no special training in the Scriptures. They also recognized them as men who had been with Jesus. But since they could see the man who had been healed standing right there among them, there was nothing the council could say. So they ordered Peter and John out of the council chamber and conferred among themselves and then …they called the apostles back in and commanded them never again to speak or teach in the name of Jesus.”
—Acts 4:13-15, NLT


“But Peter and John replied, “Do you think God wants us to obey you rather than him? 20 We cannot stop telling about everything we have seen and heard.”
—Acts 4:19-20, NLT


Bold living creates a Witness that can’t be denied


“The council then threatened them further, but they finally let them go because they didn’t know how to punish them without starting a riot. For everyone was praising God for this miraculous sign—the healing of a man who had been lame for more than forty years.”
—Acts 4:21-22, NLT

III. A Bold Prayer Expects a Response


“As soon as they were freed, Peter and John returned to the other believers and told them what the leading priests and elders had said. When they heard the report, all the believers lifted their voices together in prayer to God… O Lord, hear their threats, and give us, your servants, great boldness in preaching your word. Stretch out your hand with healing power; may miraculous signs and wonders be done through the name of your holy servant Jesus.” After this prayer, the meeting place shook, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit. Then they preached the word of God with boldness.”
—Acts 4:23-31, NLT
