Chaplain Dean Alley delivers a stirring three-point devotion to boldness rooted in prayer, based on Acts 4:13. He highlights how Peter and John, uneducated fishermen, astonished religious leaders with their courage, which stemmed from their time with Jesus. Using vivid illustrations, he emphasizes three key truths:
Prayer Leads Us into God’s Presence – Boldness with men begins with boldness before God.
Prayer Ties Us to God’s Promises – Trusting God’s Word fuels fearless living.
Prayer Enables Us to Experience Christ’s Partnership – Jesus and the Holy Spirit intercede for us, giving us unmatched confidence.
Chaplain Alley challenges believers to deepen their prayer lives, cling to God’s promises, and live with courage in a chaotic world. His message reminds us that true boldness is born from time spent in God’s presence, allowing His power to transform us.
Chaplain shared a devotion based on James 1:22, emphasizing the importance of being a 'doer of the word' rather than just a 'hearer'.
He warned against the danger of building one's faith on sand, likening it to a sandcastle that collapses under the waves of life's challenges. He urged the congregation to evaluate their service and surrender to Christ, rather than just following a routine of religion.
Chaplain also encouraged the congregation to pray for guidance on where they need to surrender fully to Christ. He ended the devotion by asking if they were living as Christians, obeying God's word, and if not, to seek God's help in making a change.
