Living in Opposition | Spirit, Power & The Church
This episode walks through Acts 4 as Peter and John face arrest for healing and preaching in Jesus’ name. Their response? Confidence, courage, and clarity in the Holy Spirit. Discover how opposition can actually strengthen your witness, how to speak truth in grace, and why the gospel will always move forward, even when the world says no. Whether you're navigating pressure at work, school, or in your personal life, this message offers clarity, encouragement, and direction.
Key Takeaways:
• Expect spiritual opposition as a normal part of following Jesus, not a sign of failure.
• Persecution often accelerates gospel impact, even when it looks like a setback.
• Boldness comes from the Holy Spirit, not your personality or preparation.
• Faithfulness in pressure creates platforms for the gospel to be seen and heard.
• Prayer isn’t just for protection—it’s a call for courage and action.
