Join us at our Logan Church as we continue with our series, Acts: Season 3. This week Pastor Henry reminds us that followers of Jesus can speak with courage because they answer to Christ before culture. True courage is not something we create on our own, but instead is a gift the Holy Spirit fills us with when we make ourselves available. Even when faced with opposition, culture, or difficult conversations with loved ones, prayer should be our immediate first response to pressure rather than a last resort. You don’t have to wait until you feel fully qualified to serve God – reflect on where the Holy Spirit might be calling you to speak His word with boldness.
Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “Rulers of the people and elders, if we are being examined today concerning a good deed done to a crippled man, by what means this man has been healed, let it be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead—by him this man is standing before you well. – Acts 4:8-10 (ESV)
