1 PROVERBS 22:1 NOBLE CHARACTER: THE KEY TO TRUE SUCCESS COURAGE

2 PROVERBS 22:1 A GOOD NAME IS MORE DESIRABLE THAN GREAT RICHES; TO BE ESTEEMED IS BETTER THAN SILVER OR GOLD.

3 JOSHUA 1:6 BE STRONG AND COURAGEOUS, BECAUSE YOU WILL LEAD THESE PEOPLE TO INHERIT THE LAND I SWORE TO THEIR ANCESTORS TO GIVE THEM.

4 JOSHUA 1:7 BE STRONG AND VERY COURAGEOUS. BE CAREFUL TO OBEY ALL THE LAW MY SERVANT MOSES GAVE YOU;

5 JOSHUA 1:7 DO NOT TURN FROM IT TO THE RIGHT OR TO THE LEFT, THAT YOU MAY BE SUCCESSFUL WHEREVER YOU GO.

6 JOSHUA 1:9 HAVE I NOT COMMANDED YOU? BE STRONG AND COURAGEOUS. DO NOT BE AFRAID; DO NOT BE DISCOURAGED, FOR THE LORD YOUR GOD WILL BE WITH YOU WHEREVER YOU GO.

7 JOSHUA 1:18 WHOEVER REBELS AGAINST YOUR WORD AND DOES NOT OBEY IT, WHATEVER YOU MAY COMMAND THEM, WILL BE PUT TO DEATH. ONLY BE STRONG AND COURAGEOUS!

8 1 CORINTHIANS 16:13 BE ON YOUR GUARD; STAND FIRM IN THE FAITH; BE COURAGEOUS; BE STRONG.

9 DETERMINED, COURAGEOUS: STRONG // TO ACT AS A MAN, TO BE BRAVE

10 WHAT DOES COURAGE DO?

11 WHAT DOES COURAGE DO? 1. COURAGE CONFRONTS.

12 MATTHEW 14:3 NOW HEROD HAD ARRESTED JOHN AND BOUND HIM AND PUT HIM IN PRISON BECAUSE OF HERODIAS, HIS BROTHER PHILIP S WIFE,

13 MATTHEW 14:4 FOR JOHN HAD BEEN SAYING TO HIM: IT IS NOT LAWFUL FOR YOU TO HAVE HER.

14 PROVERBS 27:5 BETTER IS OPEN REBUKE THAN HIDDEN LOVE.

15 WHAT DOES COURAGE DO? 2. COURAGE COVERS.

16

17 WHAT DOES COURAGE DO? 3. COURAGE LIVES OUT OF CONVICTION.

18 WHAT DOES COURAGE DO? 4. COURAGE GENERATES COURAGE.

19 1 SAMUEL 17:52 THEN THE MEN OF ISRAEL AND JUDAH SURGED FORWARD WITH A SHOUT AND PURSUED THE PHILISTINES

20 PHILIPPIANS 1:12 NOW I WANT YOU TO KNOW, BROTHERS, THAT WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO ME HAS ACTUALLY SERVED TO ADVANCE THE GOSPEL.

21 PHILIPPIANS 1:13 AS A RESULT, IT HAS BECOME CLEAR THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE PALACE GUARD AND TO EVERYONE ELSE THAT I AM IN CHAINS FOR CHRIST.

22 PHILIPPIANS 1:14 BECAUSE OF MY CHAINS, MOST OF THE BROTHERS IN THE LORD HAVE BEEN ENCOURAGED TO SPEAK THE WORD OF GOD MORE COURAGEOUSLY AND FEARLESSLY.

23 PHILIPPIANS 1:14 (AMP) AND MOST OF THE BRETHREN HAVE DERIVED FRESH CONFIDENCE IN THE LORD BECAUSE OF MY CHAINS AND ARE MUCH MORE BOLD TO SPEAK AND PUBLISH

24 PHILIPPIANS 1:14 (AMP) FEARLESSLY THE WORD OF GOD, ACTING WITH MORE FREEDOM AND INDIFFERENCE TO THE CONSEQUENCES.

25 HOW CAN I WALK IN COURAGE/BOLDNESS?

26 HOW CAN I WALK IN COURAGE/BOLDNESS? 1. BELIEVE THAT GOD IS WITH YOU AND WILL NOT FAIL YOU.

27 JOSHUA 1:9 HAVE I NOT COMMANDED YOU? BE STRONG AND COURAGEOUS. DO NOT BE AFRAID; DO NOT BE DISCOURAGED, FOR THE LORD YOUR GOD WILL BE WITH YOU WHEREVER YOU GO.

28 HOW CAN I WALK IN COURAGE/BOLDNESS? 2. CHOOSE TO PUT YOUR FEAR IN GOD NOT MAN.

29 PROVERBS 29:25 FEAR OF MAN WILL PROVE TO BE A SNARE, BUT WHOEVER TRUSTS IN THE LORD IS KEPT SAFE.

30 PSALM 34:11 COME, MY CHILDREN, LISTEN TO ME; I WILL TEACH YOU THE FEAR OF THE LORD.

31 ACTS 4:31 AFTER THEY PRAYED, THE PLACE WHERE THEY WERE MEETING WAS SHAKEN. AND THEY WERE ALL FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT AND SPOKE THE WORD OF GOD BOLDLY.

32 BOLDNESS(PARRHESIA) OUTSPOKENNESS IN SPEECH, ASSURANCE, CONFIDENCE, TO BE PUBLIC, TO ACT WITHOUT FEAR.

33 ACTS 4:7 THEY HAD PETER AND JOHN BROUGHT BEFORE THEM AND BEGAN TO QUESTION THEM: BY WHAT POWER OR WHAT NAME DID YOU DO THIS?

34 ACTS 4:8 THEN PETER, FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT, SAID TO THEM: RULERS AND ELDERS OF THE PEOPLE!

35 ACTS 4:9 IF WE ARE BEING CALLED TO ACCOUNT TODAY FOR AN ACT OF KINDNESS SHOWN TO A MAN WHO WAS LAME AND ARE BEING ASKED HOW HE WAS HEALED,

36 ACTS 4:10 THEN KNOW THIS, YOU AND ALL THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL: IT IS BY THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH,

37 ACTS 4:10 WHOM YOU CRUCIFIED BUT WHOM GOD RAISED FROM THE DEAD, THAT THIS MAN STANDS BEFORE YOU HEALED.

38 ACTS 4:12 SALVATION IS FOUND IN NO ONE ELSE, FOR THERE IS NO OTHER NAME UNDER HEAVEN GIVEN TO MANKIND BY WHICH WE MUST BE SAVED.

39 ACTS 4:13 WHEN THEY SAW THE COURAGE OF PETER AND JOHN AND REALIZED THAT THEY WERE UNSCHOOLED, ORDINARY MEN,

40 ACTS 4:13 THEY WERE ASTONISHED AND THEY TOOK NOTE THAT THESE MEN HAD BEEN WITH JESUS.

41 ACTS 4:13 (NLT) THE MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL WERE AMAZED WHEN THEY SAW THE BOLDNESS OF PETER AND JOHN, FOR THEY COULD SEE THAT THEY

42 ACTS 4:13 (NLT) WERE ORDINARY MEN WITH NO SPECIAL TRAINING IN THE SCRIPTURES. THEY ALSO RECOGNIZED THEM AS MEN WHO HAD BEEN WITH JESUS.

43 1. GOD GIVES ORDINARY PEOPLE EXTRAORDINARY BOLDNESS.

44 2. YOUR BOLDNESS WILL AMAZE THE WORLD.

45 3. BOLDNESS COMES FROM KNOWING CHRIST AND BEING DAILY FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT.

46 ACTS 4:23 ON THEIR RELEASE, PETER AND JOHN WENT BACK TO THEIR OWN PEOPLE AND REPORTED ALL THAT THE CHIEF PRIESTS AND THE ELDERS HAD SAID TO THEM.

47 ACTS 4:24 WHEN THEY HEARD THIS, THEY RAISED THEIR VOICES TOGETHER IN PRAYER TO GOD.

48 ACTS 4:24 SOVEREIGN LORD, THEY SAID, YOU MADE THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH AND THE SEA, AND EVERYTHING IN THEM.

49 ACTS 4:31 AFTER THEY PRAYED, THE PLACE WHERE THEY WERE MEETING WAS SHAKEN. AND THEY WERE ALL FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT AND SPOKE THE WORD OF GOD BOLDLY.

50 TIME WITH JESUS RESULTS FAITH BOLDNESS

51 TIME WITH JESUS RESULTS FAITH BOLDNESS

52 TIME WITH JESUS RESULTS FAITH BOLDNESS

53 TIME WITH JESUS RESULTS FAITH BOLDNESS

54 TIME WITH JESUS RESULTS FAITH BOLDNESS

55 HEBREWS 10:32 REMEMBER THOSE EARLIER DAYS AFTER YOU HAD RECEIVED THE LIGHT, WHEN YOU ENDURED IN A GREAT CONFLICT FULL OF SUFFERING.

56 HEBREWS 10:33 SOMETIMES YOU WERE PUBLICLY EXPOSED TO INSULT AND PERSECUTION; AT OTHER TIMES YOU STOOD SIDE BY SIDE WITH THOSE WHO WERE SO TREATED.

57 HEBREWS 10:34 YOU SUFFERED ALONG WITH THOSE IN PRISON AND JOYFULLY ACCEPTED THE CONFISCATION OF YOUR PROPERTY, BECAUSE YOU KNEW THAT YOU YOURSELVES HAD BETTER AND LASTING POSSESSIONS.

58 HEBREWS 10:35 SO DO NOT THROW AWAY YOUR CONFIDENCE; IT WILL BE RICHLY REWARDED.

59 HEBREWS 10:36 YOU NEED TO PERSEVERE SO THAT WHEN YOU HAVE DONE THE WILL OF GOD, YOU WILL RECEIVE WHAT HE HAS PROMISED.

60 HEBREWS 10:37 FOR, IN JUST A LITTLE WHILE, HE WHO IS COMING WILL COME AND WILL NOT DELAY.

61 ROMANS 10:14 HOW, THEN, CAN THEY CALL ON THE ONE THEY HAVE NOT BELIEVED IN? AND HOW CAN THEY BELIEVE IN THE ONE OF WHOM THEY HAVE NOT HEARD?

62 ROMANS 10:14 AND HOW CAN THEY HEAR WITHOUT SOMEONE PREACHING TO THEM?
