Acts: God's People and Spirit...Then and Now, Session Twelve

About this episode

This episode explores Stephen's story in Acts 6–7 and its implications for following Jesus with courage and faith.

Stephen’s story in Acts 6–7 challenges us to consider what it truly means to follow Jesus with courage, grace, and unwavering faith. This Sunday, we explore Stephen’s powerful defense before the religious leaders, the cost of Christlikeness, and the reminder that real ministry flows not from striving, but from being filled with the Spirit. Even when we face persecution and suffering, we continue to overcome through the power and presence of Christ.
