     | 6,786 views

    First, we see the calling of the first deacons and second, we see the capture of one of the first deacons, a man named Stephen and his testimony to us to stand strong! (Acts 6:1-15)

    Serving takes Commitment Acts 6:1-15 Introduction - This chapter contains two different thoughts which are tough to separate - It is because one lends to the other that we will tackle both of them today - First, we see the calling (recorded by Luke) of the first disciples -- These were men ...read more

    The Death Of A Deacon Series

     | 11,165 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!

    The Death of a Deacon Acts 7:1-60 Introduction - Open your bible to Acts 7 … put a finger or something at Genesis 12 also Recap: - Stephen (the first deacon) has been seized by the Sanhedrin - He is brought before them to answer the charges of blasphemy (no proof needed) - The ...read more

    Stephen, Love And Truth

     | 2,334 views

    St Stephen's sermon was very aggressive, and would not really be expected to work, but his core truth is real.

    St. Stephen December 26 2013 Lumen Fidei I grew up in the fifties and sixties, and being a Catholic was “okay” with the culture back then. So this quote from Jesus about being hated by all seemed to be referring to anti-Catholic bigotry from the early 1900s. After all, wasn’t ...read more

    He Stood Up For Me

    Our word “MARTYR” is a transliteration of the Greek word for “WITNESS.” By their lives and by their deaths, the martyrs have borne witness for “JESUS CHRIST, THE FAITHFUL WITNESS.”

    TITLE: HE STOOD UP FOR ME SCRIPTURE: ACTS 7:54-60 Can I talk to you this morning from the subject – He Stood Up For Me. Stephen was the President of the Jerusalem Board of Deacons. He was a leader in the church. He seems to have been an eloquent and fiery proclaimer and defender of the ...read more

    This is the beginning of sermon series based on the travels of Paul, and there is no place to begin like the beginning.

    It would appear that he had everything going for him. He was one of the leaders of the early church. He was a person of influence and integrity and he had the respect and honour of his colleagues and peers. Think about it, how would you like to be described as “a person full of faith and the ...read more

    There Is No Condemnation In Christ Jesus, Do You Believe It?

    We do dumb things - we make mistakes - we sin. Our text from Romans begins with one of the greatest promises in all of Scripture "There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus." Do you believe it? Do you truly believe it?

    For those not familiar with an Anglican service there are four Scripture readings prior to the message. The readings for today are: Genesis 25:19-34; Psalm 119:105-112; Romans 8:1-11; and Mathew 13:1-23.

    Uncircumcised Ears!

     | 4,852 views

    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

    Power In The Word!

    Contributed by Bala Samson on Oct 29, 2013
     | 3,536 views

    We make drastic mistakes because we do not know the truth. We believe every claptrap that is uttered by people and fall for false prophesies, because we do not know the truth. Read the Bible and live it out.

    Power in the Word! Acts 7:1”Then the high priest said, "Are these things so?" The question ‘are these things so?’ opened up the dam inside Stephen who goes on to give a long narration of events, starting from his forefathers. Stephen was now at the bar before the great council ...read more

    Lord Jesus, receive my spirit Text: Is. 9:2-7; Titus 2:11-14; Acts 7:54-60 Today is Saint Stephens’s Day when we remember the first martyr of the Christian Church. His death in the service of Christ, taking place a day after Christmas, reminds us of the cost involved in discipleship. We ...read more

    It is always right to do the right thing, even if it is difficult. Jesus never said the Christian life would be easy. Remember, the symbol of the Christian life is a cross.

    HEARTBEATS “Stephen: A heart of Commitment” Acts 6:8-15 and 8:54-60 One of the things that are clear as you look at the gospels is that popularity can be costly. Most of us if we would admit it, certainly desire to have it. But we sometimes don’t realize what it can cost us. ...read more

    Christian Character Of Stephen The Martyr

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 10, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,860 views

    The would-be servant of God, whether waiting at table, ushering at the door, distributing to the poor, or preaching the gospel, must be of a blameless character and reputation.

    THE CHRISTIAN CHARACTER OF STEPHEN THE MARTYR. Acts 6:1-15. It is interesting to commemorate one particular saint who gave his name to a Street, a Road, a Church, and a bench (!) in Norwich, and I dare say in other cities too. Stephen is rightly acknowledged as the first Christian martyr, a ...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. Standing before the Sanhedrin, the Jewish council in the Temple of Jerusalem, false witnesses alleged that the Christian deacon Stephen had claimed that ‘Jesus of Nazareth shall destroy this place, and change the customs which Moses delivered us’ (Acts 6:14). ...read more

    The Stoning Of Stephen Series

    I would like to thank Pastor Jerry Shirley for sharing this series on Acts. It has been a blessing as well as a great help. I have used these for our church, as I spend my days caring for my dying father.

    The Stoning of Stephen Acts 6:5-15 Today I want us to look at the first deacon, mentioned in chapter 6, Stephen. Stephen’s ministry covered only part of chapter 6, all of chapter 7 and ended with the first two verses of chapter 8. His ministry was brief but extremely powerful! Stephen was ...read more
