Be Bold
Boldness Comes Through Knowing
Ecclesiastes 8:1
Knowing what your are
talking about will change your face.
Judge not
according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment. Then said some of them of
Jerusalem, Is not this he, whom thy seek to kill: But, lo, he speaketh boldly, and they
say nothing unto him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ? Howbeit we
know this man whence he is: but when Christ cometh, no man knoweth whence he is. Then
cried Jesus in the temple as he taught, saying, Ye both know me, and ye know whence I am:
and I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not. But I know
him: for I am from him, and he hath sent me. John 7:24-29
Jesus said do not
judge by what you see (or think you see).
Jesus spoke boldly (v. 26).
Boldness Does Not Produce Righteousness
Acts 9:26-29
Paul had just come to
know Jesus.
You cannot be bold
and ignorant at the same time.
Faith Produces Righteousness; Righteousness Produces Boldness.
Romans 1:12
Romans 4:9
Romans 4:19-20
- Not weak in faith.
- Not weak in righteousness.
- Not weak in boldness.
Romans 9:31-32
Ministering Boldly
Promotes Knowledge
Ephesians 6:18-19
This is not simply
the unfolding of the gospel.
1 Corinthians 14:2
What is Rejection?
Acts 13:46
Rejection is not your lack of ability or anointing; it is the
declaration of the people of their unworthiness.
In whom we have
boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him. Wherefore I desire that ye faint
not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory. For this cause I bow my knees unto
the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is
named, That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be
strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; That Christ may dwell in
your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, May be able to
comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;
And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled
with all the fulness of God. Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly
above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, Unto him
be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
Ephesians 3:12-21
Acts 4:29
Hebrews 13:6
