This Week's Message

DON’T BE SILENT

The pressure to stay silent is real. Fear, rejection, and the desire for approval can make it tempting to shrink back—but an unshaken faith refuses to let pressure determine obedience.

This Sunday in Unshaken: Faith Under Fire, we followed Paul into Corinth in Acts 18. When opposition came, Paul didn’t stop obeying God. What looked like rejection became redirection, and God reminded him: “Do not be afraid; keep on speaking, do not be silent. For I am with you.”

We were reminded that we don’t need everyone’s approval to obey God. We can feel fear without letting fear lead us. We can love people and still set boundaries. And we can speak truth without losing grace. Our lives should give weight to our words. We refuse to live what we know is false, repeat what we know is false, or lend our agreement to what we know is false. Instead, we keep obeying and leave the outcome to God.

“Do not be afraid; keep on speaking, do not be silent. For I am with you.” — Acts 18:9–10
