Give Us Boldness | Pastor Kelly Wilde

Boldness isn't a personality trait, it's a gift of grace. Pastor Kelly Wilde continues our "Jesus People" series in Acts 4, picking up right after Peter and John's encounter with the lame man at the Beautiful Gate. When the religious leaders saw Peter and John's boldness in Acts 4:13, they recognized something remarkable: these were uneducated, ordinary men speaking with a confidence they could not explain away. The Greek word behind that boldness, parresia, means freedom in speech, fearless confidence, and cheerful courage in the face of danger. Pastor Kelly reminds us that every believer is called to walk in it, whether in witness, prayer, leadership, or simply loving the people around us. What set Peter and John apart wasn't their training, it was their time with Jesus. The council couldn't argue with the reality of what these men had experienced, because sharing presence with Christ shapes how we live and speak. In this message, you'll learn: What the Greek word parresia reveals about true boldness How time spent with Jesus shapes the way we live and speak How to pray the way the early church prayed in Acts 4:29-31 Scripture referenced: Acts 4:13, Acts 4:29-31 Pastor Kelly's challenge is simple and personal: share your testimony with one person. You don't need a theology degree. You just need a story of what Jesus has done. When people look closely at your life, can they tell you've been with Jesus? 👉 Subscribe for weekly messages from Capital Church #CapitalChurch #JesusPeople #PastorKellyWilde #Acts4 #Boldness #HolySpirit #ChristianSermon #Testimony You can learn more about Capital Church and our upcoming events at http://capitalchurch.co.
