Have you ever had the chance to mention Jesus and said nothing? Maybe it was a coworker, a neighbor, or a friend who has no idea you follow Him. It isn’t that you’re ashamed of Jesus. You’re afraid of the eye roll, of being left out, or of getting lumped in with Christians you’d never want to be confused with.You’re not the first person to feel that way. When the apostle Paul arrived in Corinth, he’d just been beaten, chased out of two cities, and laughed at in a third. Years later he admitted he came to Corinth “in weakness, in fear, and in much trembling.” And right when he was ready to go quiet, God met him at night with exactly what he needed: comfort, a challenge, and a promise.In this message from our Word Spreads series, Pastor Luke Heirendt walks through Acts 18 and asks a simple question: What do you do when God says “speak” and fear says “stay quiet”? The answer isn’t to wait until you feel brave. It’s to speak scared. You don’t need perfect words, every answer, or a defense of every Christian. If you know Christ crucified, you know enough, and the God who sends you goes with you.In this message:Paul’s arrival in Corinth and the familiar pattern of opposition (Acts 18:1-8)God’s night-time promise to a scared apostle, and how He kept it (Acts 18:9-17)Paul’s own account of preaching through fear (1 Corinthians 2:1-5)Why Jesus understands being mocked and lumped in with othersOne honest sentence you can be ready to say this weekCreekside Community Church is a church family in Elizabeth, Colorado, led by Pastor Luke Heirendt.
