Scripture

• Acts 6

About this sermon

3/26/2023 The first martyr of the Early Church was a man named Stephen. He was killed defending his faith in Jesus Christ. His life and death serve as a great example for Christians today and also challenges us with three questions: (1) Do I love God more than my own life? (2) Do I forgive others who have wronged me? and (3) Am I prepared to see the Lord when I die?  Pastor Gary teaches through these questions today and encourages us to pray for the same courage and boldness that Stephen had. 00:00 - Introduction 10:25 - Stephen Recalls 1100 years of Jewish History 10:28 - 1) Patriarches (7:2-19) - Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph 10:44 - 2) Prophets (7:20-43) - Moses 10:56 - 3) Place (7:44-50) - The Temple 11:57 - It’s about a PERSON - Jesus the Messiah 15:31 - 1) Do I love God more than my own life? 23:40 - 2) Do I forgive others who have wronged me? 28:08 - 3) Am I prepared to see the Lord when I die?
