Boldness

“Boldness” in church culture can get a bad reputation. Those who misunderstand the word think that means being aggressive and loud with your message, mistaking having confidence in your message with not caring about the one hearing it. Boldness is actually defined as “willing to take risks and act innovatively; confidence or courage.” A life changed by Jesus should ignite us to blaze new paths into the culture and reach those who don’t know Him. We lead the way to the heart of God by bravely reflecting His image as Creator. Our speech should be innovative, and our methods should be inventive to create something new. This requires leaving our safety nets behind, but what an amazing hope we’ve been given to know that He goes with us every step of the way.

PRAYER:

Father, let your church be a bold representation of You. We want to be sensitive to your Spirit, listening for innovative ideas and looking for creative ways to reach others. Open our eyes to the unseen in the world around us, revealing to us what can be, and fill us with the courage to go after it. Our confidence isn’t in ourselves but in You alone. I want my heart to be tender and to not fear the cost of serving you. Thank You for this amazing hope that lives within me.
