How to Speak Truth to Power • Mark 6:14-29 • Pastor Rick Brown

As Christians, we're called to stand up for what is right, even when it's uncomfortable or unpopular. In his message, "How to Speak Truth to Power," Pastor Rick Brown uses the story of John the Baptist's encounter with King Herod in Mark 6:14-29 as a foundation for offering practical guidance on speaking truth to power. Reflecting on this story, we're prompted to ask ourselves whether we've ever been in a situation where we knew the right thing to do but were afraid to speak up. This quote from Franklin D. Roosevelt, "Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the assessment that something else is more important than fear," reminds us that speaking truth to power requires courage, as the truth is more important than our fears. As we seek to align ourselves with the truth, we must remember that it exists independently of our perceptions, and we must be willing to stand for it, regardless of the consequences. Don't miss out on this inspiring and thought-provoking sermon.     Bible verses in this message: Mark 6:14-29 "How to Speak Truth to Power" was a sermon delivered as part of the Anchored Series at Godspeak Calvary Chapel in Newbury Park, California on February 26, 2023.
