Unstoppable:The Church on Mission

The book of Acts is the story of how the Holy Spirit used ordinary people to launch an extraordinary movement—the Church. From Jerusalem to the ends of the earth, the mission of God moved forward through bold preaching, sacrificial living, and Spirit-empowered obedience. That same mission is still alive today. In this 15-week series, we’ll walk through the book of Acts and discover how God wants to use us—right here, right now—as part of His unstoppable plan to bring hope to the world.

Day 4: Courageous witness over credentials and comfort

Stephen’s bold speech flowed not from status but from a Spirit-shaped courage. The world’s pushback is real, yet the gospel advances through ordinary people who speak with wisdom and gentleness. Your calm, radiant steadiness may preach louder than any argument. Ask the Spirit to fill your words and your face with the light of Christ where pressure is highest. Let courage, not convenience, set the tone of your witness today.

Acts 6:15 — Everyone in the council fixed their eyes on Stephen and saw a face bright with otherworldly calm, like that of an angel.

Reflection: Where do you anticipate pressure or scrutiny this week, and what single, simple sentence of witness could you prepare in advance to say with peace when that moment comes?
