We can do hard things

In this powerful message, we're challenged to confront the hard things in our faith journey with boldness and conviction. The story of Peter and John in Acts 4 serves as our inspiration, showing how these once-timid disciples transformed into fearless proclaimers of the Gospel. Their response to persecution reminds us that our faith isn't meant to be easy or comfortable. Instead, we're called to 'do hard things' for the sake of Christ. The early church's prayer for boldness, rather than relief from persecution, challenges us to shift our perspective. Are we praying for comfort or for courage to advance God's kingdom? This message encourages us to lean into community, pray fervently, and spend time with Jesus to cultivate the boldness we need. As we face our own trials, let's remember that through Christ, we can overcome and continue His mission, no matter how difficult the path may be.
