Acts 3-4: Stop Striving—Start Soaking: The Secret to Bold, Effective Ministry (Acts 3–4)

Why does ministry feel so draining sometimes? We long for effective, Spirit-filled ministry—but often end up exhausted, anxious, or discouraged. The problem? We’re trying to do ministry for Jesus instead of letting it flow from being with Jesus. In this sermon from Acts 3–4, we uncover the power source behind Peter and John’s bold witness and miraculous ministry: time with Jesus. 🟡 You’ll learn: Why being with Jesus must come before doing for Jesus How prayer fuels boldness even in the face of opposition Why boldness leads to wonders and witness—not burnout How to build a life of Spirit-empowered ministry, not self-driven striving 📖 Peter and John were ordinary men, but their time with Jesus made them unmistakably bold. Through prayer, they found courage to preach, power to heal, and presence to witness—even as the world warred against them. ✨ You don’t need to be perfect—you just need to be with Him. 📅 Challenge: Set aside 20 minutes twice this week to be with Jesus. Put it in your calendar. Tell someone. Check in on each other. You’ll see the difference. — 🔔 Subscribe for weekly sermons and devotionals 📍 Join us in person or online: [Your Church Name or Website] 📱 Follow us on [social links, if any] #Acts3 #ChristianMinistry #Boldness #SpiritualRest #WithJesus #Gospel #Witness
