Living Boldly
Being more in love with Jesus than ourselves allows us to live a bold life.
Boldness in Our Testimony
Boldness in Our Persecution
Boldness in Our Prayers
Exalting Jesus in Acts
Reflect and Discuss
Describe a time when you experienced timidity about your Christian faith. What do you think was causing your fear?
Why did the preaching of Peter and John upset the religious establishment?
How is the power of the Holy Spirit related to bold proclamation?
What did Peter mean by the phrase “the stone rejected by you builders, which has become the cornerstone” (v. 11)?
Consider the millions of unreached and lost people living today. Now consider what Peter says in Acts 4:12. How should we respond?
What characteristics did the religious establishment observe in Peter and John (v. 13)? What does this teach us about the importance of spending time with Jesus?
What does this story teach us about preaching Christ?
Why do you think the church addressed God as “Master” in its prayer (vv. 24–30)?
Why did the church quote Psalm 2:1–2 in its prayer?
Why should we pray for boldness? What does boldness look like in evangelism?
