The Story of Stephen (Page 2)
What do you believe about Jesus? Was He just a prophet doing good deeds, or was He more? Stephen’s prayer reveals the answer to those questions; Bro. Jeff helps us understand in tonight’s message.
Have you been wronged? Having trouble forgiving? When God has pardoned, what does that say about our unforgiving heart? Tonight Bro. Jeff stresses Stephen’s example and picture of God’s mercy.
Are you dreading death, or do you have similar perspective as Stephen? Join us for this thought-provoking message as Bro. Jeff begins taking a look at the theological implications and practical applications of Stephen’s prayers during his stoning.
God’s love and grace to forgive is sufficient and readily available for even the most rebellious, as we see tonight in the Biblical example of Saul. Learn more about how you can receive that same love and grace as Bro. Jeff describes the rebellion of the condemned. Won’t you seek Him today?
Further infuriating the Jewish fathers, Stephen described his vision of Heaven. Learn why they were gnashing their teeth as Bro. Jeff digs deep into implications of this event in this moving message.
If you had seen what Stephen did, you would surely be captivated too! Bro. Jeff’s analogy to a kid’s ballgame inspires us to think on the love that Jesus has for us; he will stand for you if you’ll trust in Him. Learn more in this powerful continuation in Acts 7.
“Turn your eyes upon Jesus, Look full in His wonderful face, And the things of earth will grow strangely dim, In the light of His glory and grace.” The words of the old hymn rang true for Stephen, do they for you? Tonight’s message centers on the Spirit that dominated Stephen.
As we continue in our study of Stephen, our focus turns to his experience as the first martyr. Just as others have been inspired and encouraged by his account, we too benefit from Stephen’s experiences. Bro. Jeff poses a final question of self-reflection; how would you answer?
When are we resisting the Holy Spirit, and thus resisting God himself? Bro. Jeff answers that question by looking at the opposition demonstrated by the Jewish leaders in New Testament time, and he warns us of the dire consequences of resisting God.
