This is the final part of our series, Live Boldly, in which we explore the lives of the apostles and the early church in the book of Acts. Acts begins with Jesus telling His disciples that they will receive power as the Holy Spirit comes upon them, empowering them to be witnesses to the good news of the Gospel to the surrounding region and all the earth. Acts ends with an imprisoned Paul, who despite his captivity, continues to boldly proclaim Jesus to the early church AND his Roman captors. This emphasis on the unhindered message of the Gospel, despite the physically hindered messenger, reveals that perhaps the greatest witness to the power of the Gospel message is the weakness of the Gospel messengers. This means whatever is going on in your life, whether or not you feel bold enough or able enough to be an effective witness to the Gospel of Christ, God can use you to spread the message of His grace to the ends of the earth.
