"How does Stephen's speech point to Jesus? In today's episode, Emma Dotter talks about Acts 7-8 and how Stephen's message recounts the faith of those in Israel's history who were rejected by God's people, similarly to Jesus.

In this powerful message from Everyday Mission, we look at the life and death of Stephen in Acts 6:8–7:60 and see what it truly means to live on mission for Jesus. Stephen's courage, conviction, and compassion weren't fueled by self-confidence—but by being emptied of self and filled with the Holy Spirit. His bold witness before opposition and his forgiveness in the face of death point us to Jesus, the One who empowers us to live and love beyond our own strength. Everyday mission isn't about being impressive—it's about being available for the Spirit to work through us.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.org Connect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!

Stephen's words highlight the words of Jesus that WHERE we worship is not important; true worshippers must worship in "spirit and truth" wherever they are: John 4 verses 21-24. Once again their persistent hard heartedness and their resistance to God had been evidenced in their crucifixion of God's Holy Son. At this point the hostile audience gnash - grind their teeth in anger - upon Stephen and drawing him outside the city to stone him. In his dying moment Stephen is granted a vision of the Son of Man, from Daniel 7 returning to set up his kingdom. He prays for their forgiveness - but omits Jesus' words that 'they knew not what they were doing'. Stephen asks that the spirit of his testimony be received as a witness of his life.Thanks for joining us - we pray you found these comments helpful in your appreciation of God's words, join again tomorrow
In Stephen's speech before the Jewish Council, he gave a master class on the meaning of Old Testament history, which culminated in Jesus.

The Jewish leaders make some accusations against Stephen at the end of Acts 6. Oftentimes, Stephen's words in Acts 7 are seen as simply a historical recounting of the nation of Israel, but what if his words are designed to respond directly to the accusations?

God saves all kinds of people, even people we don't expect! Acts 10 helps us examine our own lives and possible ways that our beliefs may be too self-focused. We will not just look at a shift that God wants us to make, but how that shift could begin to play out practically for each of us.

Join my husband and I as we go through the entire Bible in a year, in conjunction with the Bible Discovery Guide and The Daily Show. This weekend we answer some of the big questions and viewer questions concerning Jesus' miracles, judgment, and sin — from water to wine, self-witness, and whether all sins are truly equal. If you want to know your Bible better, then this is a great place to help deepen your big picture understanding.
As Christians, we want to be like Jesus. One of the greatest examples of a man who understood what it was to be a committed Christian, and to be dedicated to the sharing of the gospel message was Stephen. Let's join pastor Lloyd in Acts chapter seven as we bring to a close a look at one of the truly great heroes of the New Testament - Stephen
The need to stand firm comes up repeatedly in the book of Acts as it does in our lives today. So to be faithful to the scripture and to encourage ourselves - we will look at it once more. Pastor Lloyd Pulley is our teacher, and he's taking us through a series in the book of Acts called “The World Upside Down”. We've reached the seventh chapter, where Stephen is offering his defense before a crowd that wants to kill him - and ultimately does.
The book of Acts, also called the Acts of the Apostles, spotlights the fulfillment of the Great Commission. This powerful book was written by the Apostle Luke who also wrote the Gospel of Luke. Join Jerry as he walks through this book and recounts the spread of Christianity from Jerusalem to Judea, Samaria and the surrounding world. You will be encouraged by the power of the Holy Spirit at work in the lives of many who were transformed through hearing the gospel and witnessing of miracles.
