Closed Doors to Open Mouths

About this episode

This episode discusses how the risen Christ empowers His disciples to move from fear to bold witness.

From Closed Doors to Open Mouths | Anchored in Troubled Waters | Season 9 Episode 17 Podcast Description After the resurrection, the disciples hid behind closed doors in fear. But Jesus met them there, brought peace to their hearts, and later filled them with power to become bold witnesses. In this message, we look at how the risen Christ moves His people from hiding to speaking, from fear to fire, and from closed rooms to open mouths. The same disciples who once hid behind shut doors would soon stand in public and boldly proclaim the name of Jesus. What changed was not personality or circumstance, but the power of the Holy Ghost. This message explores how Christ moves His people from fear to witness and why what begins in the room must eventually reach the world. Fear shut the doors, but Jesus came in anyway. Then, through the power of the Holy Ghost, those same fearful disciples became bold witnesses of the risen Christ. In this message, we look at the movement from peace to power, from hidden faith to open testimony, and from closed doors to open mouths
