Selfless – Week 1 | Bold in Witness

Fear keeps good people silent — worried they’ll say the wrong thing, look foolish, or offend. This message meets that exact tension: honest insecurity about sharing faith, the pull toward self-preservation, and the emptiness that comes from chasing more for ourselves. It confronts how most of our prayers and goals center on “me” and shows why that leaves us flat rather than fulfilled. The sermon traces how the first followers moved from hiding to boldness — not by grit alone, but by being with Jesus, praying Scriptures back to God, and asking for courage to speak for others. Expect practical prompts (spending time in the Word, honest prayer) and steady reassurance that love, not performance, casts out fear. Listen for the shifts that turned timid disciples into people who couldn’t stop telling others what had filled them.
