Acts 4:7-31 | 20 July 2025

Leon examines the nature of biblical boldness through the lens of Acts 4, where the early church, fresh from persecution, responds not with fear but with fearless prayer and unity. Boldness here is not mere human confidence but a Spirit-empowered courage rooted in God’s sovereignty. Like Peter and John, who stood before authorities as “ordinary men” (Acts 4:13), believers are called to a boldness that flows from Christ’s victory, not their own strength. The crucifixion and resurrection redefine power: what looks like weakness (a crucified King) becomes the source of unshakable boldness for those who trust in Him.
