What would you do if you were told to stop talking about Jesus?

In this Sermon, we’ll look at Peter and John standing on trial before the most powerful leaders in Israel. They boldly proclaim judgment — and then astonishingly offer grace and forgiveness through Jesus to the very men who orchestrated His death.

The result: threats to stay silent.

Their response:
🔥 “We cannot help but speak of what we have seen and heard.” — Acts 4:20

But their strength didn’t come from themselves — it came from the Holy Spirit.

And this isn’t just a history lesson. The same Spirit who filled Peter still empowers us today to speak and live with courage for Christ.

So, are you timid to share your faith?
Worried you won’t know what to say?
Afraid to take a stand?

In this Sermon , we’ll see that true boldness doesn’t come from within — it comes from God Himself. 🙌🏼

Two Things to Think About while you listen 🧠
1️⃣ Where in your life are you tempted to stay silent about Jesus out of fear of what others might think?

Two Things to Pray About in Response 🙏
1️⃣ Ask the Spirit to give you boldness to speak the name of Jesus with love and courage — at home, at work, and in our city.
2️⃣ Pray that our church would be known in Winnipeg as a people who have been with Jesus — humble, holy, and Spirit-filled witnesses.
