DAY 5:   Read 1 Peter 3:15-16

[15] Instead, you must worship Christ as Lord of your life. And if someone asks about your hope as a believer, always be ready to explain it. [16] But do this in a gentle and respectful way. Keep your conscience clear. Then if people speak against you, they will be ashamed when they see what a good life you live because you belong to Christ. 

1 Peter 3:15-16 NLT

• Stephen bore witness to Jesus even when it cost him his life. 

• How can we live as bold witnesses without being harsh or judgmental?

Application - Ask yourself: 

• Am I resisting the Holy Spirit in any part of my life? 

• Have I been close to God’s house but far from His heart? 

• Is there someone God is calling me to speak truth or encouragement to this week?
