Acts 3-4 Sermon

"Unstoppable Boldness: Healing, Preaching, and Standing Firm"

Description: In Acts 3 and 4, the early Church moves from waiting to walking, from receiving power to releasing it. Peter and John encounter a lame beggar at the temple gate—and with one declaration in the name of Jesus Christ, a man who had never walked is leaping for joy. But the miracle draws a crowd, and the crowd draws opposition.

This sermon explores how the Spirit-empowered Church steps into public ministry with fearless boldness. We follow the ripple effect of one healing: Peter’s powerful sermon at Solomon’s Porch, the arrest of the apostles, and their unshakable stand before the same religious leaders who condemned Jesus. While the world tries to silence the name of Christ, the Church rises in unity and prayer, shaken by the power of God but unshaken by fear.

In a culture increasingly hostile to truth, Acts 3–4 reminds us that bold faith backed by the Holy Spirit is still God’s answer to brokenness, resistance, and doubt. These chapters aren’t just history—they are a challenge to every believer: Will you speak up? Will you stand firm? Will you live like the name of Jesus is above every name?
