What do you do when fear, pressure, public opinion, or uncertainty tells you to stay quiet? The early church faced the same question, and their answer was not greater confidence in themselves. It was the power of the Holy Spirit.
In this message from Acts, Pastor Tim Dilena challenges us to recognize the spiritual moment we are living in and ask God for a fresh filling of His Spirit. Peter, Stephen, Paul, and the first believers faced intimidation, opposition, overwhelming responsibilities, and even death, yet they found courage to keep following Jesus.
The Holy Spirit is not just for extraordinary moments. He gives us strength for the conversation we are afraid to have, wisdom for the challenge we do not know how to handle, courage when fear takes over, and confidence to live openly for Jesus in everyday life.
