Most of us pray for relief when life gets difficult. The early church prayed for something different. In this message from Acts 4:23–31, Pastor Kevin Deyette explores how the believers responded to opposition by asking God for boldness instead of escape—and how God empowered them to remain faithful in the midst of it. In this sermon, Pastor Kevin from Restoration Church in Yakima, WA examines the prayer of the early church, what it means to trust God's sovereignty in the face of opposition, and how the Holy Spirit empowers believers to boldly proclaim the gospel. If you're searching for biblical teaching on prayer, courage, the Holy Spirit, or faithful Christian living, this message from Acts 4 offers practical insight rooted in God's Word.
