One Person with Courage (boldness) is a Majority
 
Acts 4:1-13

Being a devoted follower of Christ requires courage.
 
There are 7 truths that cause true believers to have courage to:
 
1.      Seek the Truth: You never find yourself until you face the truth.
 
2.      Change: Courage is the power to let go of the familiar
 
3.      Express Convictions: Convictions help us to stand alone. The test of courage comes when we are in the minority
 
4.      Overcome Obstacles: Whatever you do, someone will think you are wrong. Expect trouble. Project courage.
 
5.      Learn and Grow: You haven’t learned until you step out, take a risk, and do something new.
 
6.      Take the High Road: There is no traffic jam on the second mile
 
7.      Lead Others: Leadership and boldness is the expression of courage that compels others to do the right thing.
