Courage Over Comfort

Apr 19, 2026    Ps. Brian Bast

What does it really look like to be a Spirit-led church? In Acts 4, Peter and John stand boldly in the face of pressure, opposition, and uncertainty—and the difference is clear: they are filled with the Holy Spirit. This message challenges us to examine our own relationship with the Spirit—are we hungry for more, hesitant of the supernatural, or simply unsure of who He is? Through this powerful moment in the early church, we discover that Spirit-led living produces courage, not comfort. God uses ordinary people to make an extraordinary impact when they are rooted in His presence, grounded in His Word, and willing to live for His approval instead of man’s.


If you’ve ever felt unqualified, intimidated, or stuck in routine, this message will remind you that your everyday life—your workplace, your relationships, your decisions—is your mission field. The Holy Spirit empowers you with boldness, resilience, and restoration so you can step into the arena God has placed you in and live with purpose. A Spirit-led church is a courageous church—and that courage starts with you.
