Sermon Summary: This sermon concludes a series on "Dangerous Prayers," challenging believers to move beyond safe, routine prayers to bold requests that align with God's will and mission. The pastor emphasizes the importance of believing Jesus' teachings fully, including the difficult ones, and how this belief should drive Christians to pray for boldness in sharing the gospel and for God to work miracles through them. He contrasts the typical American Christian prayer focused on safety and comfort with the early church's prayers for courage and divine power to spread the message of Christ.

Key Points:

• Christians often pray "safe" prayers but should pray "dangerous" prayers that challenge and change them
• Believers should fully embrace both the "sweet" and "salty" teachings of Jesus
• The early church prayed for boldness and miraculous signs, not just protection
• Our prayer life reflects whether we've strayed from God's heartbeat for evangelism
• Christians need to add prayers for boldness and divine intervention to their daily prayer life

Scripture Reference: Acts 4:23-31 (primary focus) Luke 13:28 (mentioned as an example of Jesus' "salty" teachings)
