Last night we ended chapter 7 of Acts and once again someone died. This time it's not because someone lied to God, it's because someone lived for God. Have you ever wondered why Jesus stood up for Stephen as he was being stoned to death? Pastor Jeff addressed this intriguing question and took us into the incredible true story of the martyrdom of Stephen.Light Contrasting Darkness Acts 7:54-60
I. A Dark Response (v. 54)
II. An Illumined Perspective (v. 55)
III. An Illumined Testimony (v. 56)
IV. A Dark Attack (vv. 57-58)
V. Illumined Prayers (vv. 59-60)
Take-home points:
- It is dangerous to your soul to let anger fester
- Witnessing should first be about God before its about people
- When your witness is rejected, people are rejecting first God before you
- Try not to lose hope over lost people – God saves a murderer
- The ultimate end of unrepentant anger is murder
- Even if you’re not a Martyr, die praying like Jesus prayed
