Send us a message!

We walk through Stephen’s trial in Acts 7 and listen as he traces God’s faithfulness from Abraham to Moses to the temple. We sit with Stephen’s death, the appearance of Saul, and Jesus’ promise that the Holy Spirit gives us words when fear hits. 
• Stephen accused with false witnesses and yet marked by the Spirit’s calm 
• A fast, coherent overview of the Old Testament storyline through Abraham, Joseph, and Moses 
• Israel’s repeated pattern of resisting God’s messengers and drifting into idolatry 
• God’s presence not contained by buildings, with the temple put in its proper place 
• Stephen’s bold confrontation of the council and the cost of telling the truth 
• Stephen’s vision of Jesus and his Christlike words of forgiveness at death 
• Luke 12:11–12 as comfort for believers who fear saying the wrong thing 
• Preparing our hearts through prayer so the Spirit can speak through us
