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

    Stephen, Love And Truth

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Dec 21, 2013
     | 2,435 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

     | 19,642 views

    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?

    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

    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.
