There are several interesting similarities between the mob that Stephen preached to and those who will deny the same message today.

Is the Gospel we preach, and the God we preach the same as Paul had preached to the Thessalonians in AD 49?

The first epistle to the Thessalonian, of which we just heard the first chapter, is the earliest of Paul’s writings. We read in Acts chapter 17 of his visit to Thessalonica (modern-day Salonika) in the year 49; of how he preached in the synagogue for two Sabbaths, but was then driven from the city ...read more

He died for everyone so that those who receive his new life will no longer live to please themselves. ...read more
