As Bro. Jeff takes a closer look at the incredible encounter, a salvation experience, that a devout Pharisee had with the resurrected Messiah, he describes the common characteristics of Holy Spirit led, born-again salvation. Have you met the Master?
While Stephen was living and dying for Christ, there was a devout Jewish leader present. Bro. Jeff focuses on the observations and experiences that led to this Pharisee becoming a follower and great spiritual warrior for Christ.
Grace – faith = death. Grace + faith = life. Tonight, Bro. Henley describes God’s grace and what it means in relation to eternal life, and how it benefits our Christian walk.
Continuing his encouraging series about Stephen, Bro. Jeff prompts us to ponder on the providence of God and how much the gospel spread as a result of Stephen’s stoning.
What God allows, He uses…for our growth, for the good, for His glory. We learn how the scattering of people sows the seed of the gospel as Bro. Jeff shares how persecution can be good.
Historically, Christians have often been persecuted, and, as Bro. Jeff points out, we or our children may be persecuted in the near future. We often see that as a terrible thing, but listen and learn about the surprisingly wonderful way our sovereign God uses evil for good.
Why did the writer of the book of Acts tell us about Stephen’s death? He was not only willing to follow Jesus to the point of a violent death, but, as Bro. Jeff points out, he also provides an example for us of a dedicated Christian life, with its rewards after life.
Stephen was willing to follow Jesus to the point of a violent death. How far are you willing to go? Bro. Jeff continues to encourage us with Stephen’s example.
Stephen’s prayers reveal the pathway that will bring us to the right place and the peace that it will bring to us. Bro. Jeff encourages us in the benefits that come with real prayer in our lives.
