The Courage God Provides (Rev. Charles McKnight) 7/26/26

The early church faced threats, intimidation, and real danger—yet they refused to be silent. Why? Because God Himself was fueling their courage. In Acts 5:12–42, the apostles step forward with confidence not rooted in personality, but in God’s power. Today’s Rev. Charles McKnight unpacks four anchors for courageous gospel witness: God saves — Their story begins with rescue. God is present — They were never alone in the mission. God gives the message — The gospel is God’s authoritative word. God gives joy — Even persecution becomes a platform for rejoicing. This sermon invites you to step into the same courage God has always given His people. 📖 Scripture: Acts 5:12-42 (ESV)
