ACTS 3:1—4:31
❒ 4:20 ❒ 4:29–31
3 What did Peter and John say to the lame man (3:4–6)?
6 What opposition did the people of the early church experience? How did they
respond?
When Jesus was taken prisoner in the garden, the disciples fled in fear at the
first sign of opposition. But here, just a short time later, they declared their alle-
giance to Christ at every opportunity, regardless of the consequences. When
they were threatened, they prayed for even more boldness. Today, unfortu-
nately, we often cringe or compromise when challenged or criticized. Instead of
boldly proclaiming the truth, we blend into the culture. How might the church
today be more bold in telling others about Christ?
8 Besides standing up and preaching, what are some other ways we can be
bold for Christ?
9 How have your friends, neighbors, and coworkers reacted to your Christian
