Scripture/Text: Acts 4:23-31; In Acts 4:23-31, the early church responds to threats and opposition not with fear, but with prayer. In this week's message, we see how the people of God, filled with the Holy Spirit, turn to Scripture to shape their prayers and steady their hearts. Rather than asking for safety or escape, they ask for boldness to continue speaking God's Word. Their prayer teaches us not only how to respond in times of suffering, but how to join God's unfolding story by praying biblically and preaching boldly.
