Listen along as we continue through the book of Acts. Notes//Quotes: Acts 7:1-60 1 Pet 3:8-17 “God is everywhere present. The holy place is there wherever God may be.” - Chrysostom “No harm can be done to the temple and the law, when Christ is openly established as the end and truth of both.” - John Calvin “Stephen has been confessing Christ before men, and now he sees Christ confessing his servant before God.” FF Bruce  “The Jesus who was right then interceding for Stephen had taught him that intercession, rather than cursing, was the way of the new, fulfilled, law and Temple.” - NT Wright

Many religions teach a figure similar to Jesus. Today, Pastor Mark discusses the heresy of believing in any path to heaven that does not recognize Jesus as the Son of God. It is important to understand who we are witnessing to and the flaws that exist in their current beliefs. Knowing the truth is vital to our witness. Belief in Jesus as anything but God is counterfeit. We should not mold our understanding of "Jesus" to fit our personal beliefs. Instead, we must accept the Word of God as our absolute, ultimate authority. Don't shy away from the truth of Christ's deity. Jesus stated, "No one comes to the Father except through me.”

God uses difficult times to bring us closer to Him. In today's message, Pastor Mark reminds us that even the suffering of the tribulation is meant to open the eyes of the Jews. Sometimes we must experience hardship before we can truly see the light. We don't recognize our need for Christ until He is all we have left. God has always used persecution to open people's eyes and bring them back to Him. God's greatest act of love is not to leave us to our own ways, but to draw us toward Him. He desires to mold our lives. Although it is not always easy, God is in control. Allow Him to lift your head and turn your gaze toward Him.

The way we share the gospel can vary depending on whom we are speaking with. It might be a rebuke, a logical argument, or a gentle appeal. In today's message, Pastor Mark suggests that, in general, a softer approach is preferable. He uses Stephen's example as he addressed the Sanhedrin to illustrate this point. Stephen used history to remind the Jews of God's preparation for the gospel. We can do the same today by highlighting God's work in people's lives. He may have protected them or sent individuals into their lives to demonstrate His love and mercy. Nothing happens by chance; everything is by God's design.

Send us a textWe continue our verse-by-verse, chapter-by-chapter journey through the Book of Acts with an in-depth look at Acts 7:30–41.Stephen stands before the Sanhedrin, defending himself against false accusations of blasphemy against God, Moses, the temple, and the Law. In his response, Stephen boldly argues that God has never been confined to a temple or tradition. He reminds them that God appeared to Moses not in Jerusalem, but in the wilderness—through a burning bush on what God Himself declared to be holy ground.Stephen emphasizes that God revealed Himself to Moses as the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob—long before there was a temple, the Law, or even a nation called Israel. His message is clear: God's presence isn't limited by buildings or rituals.Stephen also highlights Israel's long history of rejecting God's chosen leaders, including Moses—and now Jesus. He quotes Moses' prophecy: “God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from among your own people,” pointing to Jesus as the fulfillment of that promise.Listen to hear the complete story and be blessed by the Word of God!You can listen to past and future episodes of this podcast and The God Revelation Podcast and the Holy Spirit Podcast on our website   https://renewyourmindministries.org/, or on any podcast platform such as Amazon Alexa, Audible, Apple/Itunes Podcasts, Spotify, iheart, Youtube Podcasts, & etc. If you need prayer, you can email us at renewyourmindm@gmail.com.

In this message, we look at Stephen's final sermon—one of the most powerful and confrontational moments in the New Testament.Stephen wasn't just a martyr—he was a man full of the Holy Spirit, standing up to dead religion with living truth. His boldness cost him everything… but his impact still echoes through time.

Stephen continues talking about the controversial ramifications of Jesus being the risen Messiah. At the end he drives it home with a pointed accusation aimed at the Sanhedrin. The results teach us deep lessons about the source and results of faithfulness in the life of the believer. 

Last time we looked at how Stephen showed in his character that he followed Jesus in His Footsteps. Our Lord walked the path of death. He died and rose again. We are called to follow Him in His footsteps. His steps may include giving our lives to the Lord, to whom he gave everything for […]

If you are interested in the Daily Bible Devotional, you can find it at the links below:Amazon - (paperback, hardcover, and Kindle)Spiritbuilding.com - (premium quality paperback)Youtube Video Introducing the ContentFeel free to reach out with any questions: emersonk78@me.comActs 7 Stephen delivers an epic speech to the Jewish leaders, spanning two thousand years of Israel's history. He emphasizes God's promise of land to Abraham. He then discusses the jealousy of Joseph's brothers, highlighting how God protected him and led the Jews to Egypt. Stephen then recounts the story of Moses and explains how he saved the people despite their repeated obstinance. God was present and active all throughout Israel's history. Stephen notes that God is still working through the Holy Spirit, yet the Jews remain rebellious, even murdering “the Righteous One.” This infuriates the crowd, leading them to stone Stephen to death. In his final moments, Stephen sees Jesus in heaven standing next to the Father and pleads that the people's sins not be held against them.  Stephen's defense provides several meaningful application points. First, he was wise and courageous in his willingness to share the truth about God with a dangerous crowd. Confessing Jesus requires standing firm in the face of eminent danger. Second, the lengthy message recounts key figures in Israel's history. More importantly, it illustrates that God was always present with them, never limited by location or hindered by anyone. This is the God we serve, who remains active and unstoppable today. Finally, the glory of Jesus resonates through Stephen's words and character. Like Stephen, we should know God's story and emulate Jesus as we share it. He honors Christ by reciting Jesus' words on the cross, even unto his dying breath.     Great Father, Your involvement with Your people has sustained them for generations. Men and women of faith stood firm for You, even when Your own people opposed them. Help us recognize that You are with us. Open our hearts to the presence and work of the Holy Spirit. Many resist Him, some even in a misguided attempt at faith. Please guide us by Your Spirit to know and teach the truth. If defending Your Name costs our lives, grant us the courage of Stephen to emulate Jesus and die with unwavering faith, heavenly hope, and love, even for our enemies.   Thought Questions: -       God supported the faithful, especially as others opposed them. Do you believe God is with you? And how is He helping you today? -       The Jews were “resisting the Holy Spirit,” though they thought they were righteous. How do you avoid falling into such a misguided religion? -       Jesus and Stephen asked God to forgive those who murdered them. How do you demonstrate that heart of mercy to others?

Acts 7:1-8:4 Brothers and fathers, hear me. The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham when he was in Mesopotamia, before he lived in Haran, 3 and said to him, Go out from your land and from your kindred and go into the land that I will show you.' 4 Then he went out […] The post Stephen's Sermon and Stephen's Lord (Acts 7:1-8:4) first appeared on Hope of Christ Church.

In Acts 7 we have Stephen's defence. Stephen shows a) God is not confined to a Temple, or place; and, b) Israel's history illustrates a pattern of rebellion against the leaders God sent them. Stephen begins by telling the Sanhedrin Council – his accusers – that the God of glory appears to Abraham, not in the Land of Israel, not in a temple but in Mesopotamia. When Abraham dies the only inheritance he has in the land is the burial plot he has recently purchased. Stephen enumerates the terrible behaviour of the 12 sons of Israel. God raises up for His people Israel in Egypt a deliverer – Moses who was raised as an Egyptian prince. Stephen says that Moses was “mighty in words and deeds”. But this self confident prince thought it would be via his might and power that the Almighty would deliver His people. But at this time they reject Moses – just as they rejected Jesus in his time among God's people. Moses flees from Egypt a fearful and disillusioned man. Once again the glory of God is revealed to Moses outside the land in the Sinai desert by an angel at the burning bush in Sinai. Moses worships the LORD here. And for 40 years Moses leads Yahweh's people through the Wilderness and he is supported with signs and wonders from God. And it was Moses who had declares, in Deuteronomy 18, that the LORD God would raise them up a prophet like himself. God did send them that prophet – His Son Jesus – whom they had failed to hear. Idolatry and disbelief are Israel's characteristic pattern throughout their history. The same traits continued and caused them to be exiled in Babylon. 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 upon Stephen and drawing him outside the city and stoning 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.
