Acts 4:5-31 | The Power to Speak

 --

Slides:

Acts 1:8

but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth."

John 14:6

Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.”

Slide: Disciples follow Jesus…

The world tells us not to speak in the name of Jesus.

Romans 10:17

So faith [comes] from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.

Disciples follow Jesus AND encourage others to pursue Christ by proclaiming the gospel, teaching sound doctrine, and modeling spiritual practices.

The power to speak:

• To speak the Word, you have to know it.

• To not stop speaking the Word, you must have started speaking.

• The Holy Spirit gives us the power to speak the Word of God with boldness.
