Acts 3-4: Boldness Born in Prayer

Why does ministry sometimes feel exhausting, anxious, or spiritually empty? In Acts of the Apostles 3–4, Peter and John reveal that effective ministry does not begin with talent, strategy, or effort—it begins with being with Jesus. The boldness of the apostles, their prayers, their witness, and even the wonders God performs through them all flow out of a life saturated in the presence of Christ. This sermon explores how prayerful dependence on Jesus transforms fearful people into bold witnesses and why lasting ministry can only flow from abiding in Him.
