     | 3,927 views

    When we are bound by stubborn patterns, we can become hostile when our stubborn ways are exposed.

    That Same Old Song and Dance (Acts 7: 1-53) 1. It is natural for all of us to get absorbed in our own worlds; as a result, we often lose sight of the big picture. 2.

    You can go to church and still be deaf! Your ears sure need a touch of God, so that the Gospel permeates into the mind and heart.

    Uncircumcised ears! Acts 7:51 "You stiff-necked people, uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always resist the Holy Spirit. As your fathers did, so do you.” The people were not ready to hear the voice of Stephen, they tightly shut their ears! Uncircumcised ears! If both the ears are plugged ...read more

    Wherever God meets His people is a holy place, not just in the Temple or in a Church building.

    STEPHEN’S SPEECH. Acts 7.

    Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Jun 10, 2013
     | 10,991 views

    The Sanhedrin’s reaction to the Gospel is pretty typical for those who reject it, but the boldness displayed by Stephen is something WE must learn from!

    Moses shows us that sometimes following God is a matter of timing more than ability or training.

    A preacher was invited to an area church to preach. When he began his sermon, there was enthusiasm. The more the congregation responded loud to his sermon, the longer he went on. Finally, he noticed that the host preacher had started responding to his sermon by saying "Amen, Pharaoh." After a ...read more

    Stephen brings up eight charges against his accusers. His sermon was what ultimately led to his death.

    Last time we saw that Stephen was seized and dragged before the Sanhedrin and put on trial. We closed chapter 6 seeing a heavenly glow showing from Stephen’s face, indicating that God’s presence was there. Tonight we begin a very long chapter 7 and we look a little closer at ...read more

     | 8,856 views

    Stephen's Acts 7 defense before the Jewish leaders is a masterful theological treatise on the presence of God. But it was a message with ominous implications to these power-hungry leaders. Stephen's message has applications to us today 2000 years later.

    Part 4 in a 14-part series of studies I call “The Christian Character” as described by Jesus to a crowd of people on a Galilean hillside. In this part we examine the beatitude, “Blessed are the meek...” and "Blessed are those hunger and thirst for righteousness..."
