Acts 4:4-31 // Life Church of San Antonio
This message takes us on a journey through the early church's powerful prayer in Acts 4. We're reminded that true prayer is born from urgency and danger, not comfort. The early believers didn't pray for an easy life, but for boldness to proclaim Christ in the face of persecution. Their prayer was rooted in understanding God as Creator, Revealer, and Incarnate One. This theological foundation fueled their motivation to spread the Gospel, regardless of the cost. We're challenged to examine our own prayers: do we seek comfort or boldness? Are we more concerned with our problems or with proclaiming Christ? The message urges us to pray for a fresh filling of the Holy Spirit, not for our own benefit, but to empower us as witnesses in a broken world.
