Sunday 10/7/2012, The Mission: Showing, "Let's Live Boldly" (Acts 4:5-37) Pastor Daniel Fusco
As Robert Frost once wrote, "Freedom lies in being bold." One of the defining attributes of the early church was boldness. Freshly freed from sin and death by Jesus and now filled with the Holy Spirit, the rag-tag band of apostles found themselves right in the middle of a great revival. Sure, God had made it happen. It was His work. But the disciples of Jesus were His instruments, boldly stepping out in their witness and actions. And as they stepped out and trusted Jesus boldly, amazing things happened, beyond what any one of them ever imagined possible.
We all want to live boldly for Jesus, but we wonder how to do it. When the rubber meets the road, how can we live the way those early apostles did? In the next installment of our "Showing" series, Pastor Daniel will break open Acts 4, and share about the story of the early believers, and how it applies to us in 2012. Join us as we look at Peter and John, and God speaks to our community about how, with His help and His calling on our lives, we can learn to live as God intended, and experience the joy that follows.
