Boldness to Speak | Selvin Cortez

Église Nouvelle Vie

This sermon explores where true boldness originates—not from personality or training, but from the Holy Spirit. Drawing from Acts 4:13, it shows how Peter, once fearful, became a bold witness after being filled with the Spirit. The first point emphasizes that Boldness Rises from the Ashes of Failure—Peter’s denial was transformed into Spirit-empowered proclamation. Second, Boldness Flows from Being with Jesus—proximity to Christ, not pedigree, ignites power. Like Moses’ radiant face, believers glow with the Spirit's presence. Third, Boldness Multiplies in Spirit-Filled Unity—boldness isn't solitary; it grows in surrendered community, as seen when the early church prayed and the ground shook. The message calls us to live in Spirit-empowered obedience that impacts our world. The week concludes with daily challenges to reflect, repent, reconnect, rehearse, and reach—preparing hearts to Speak Boldly in everyday life.
