Podcasts about stoning of stephen

When your story is history, and your story is his story, your story will become ministry and prophecy. In this message, Pastor Jamie Nunnally shares the story of Stephen from Acts chapters 6 & 7.Acts 6:1-4 Church growth requires division of labor. If you try to do everything, you'll succeed at nothing. Acts 6:5-6  POINT #1 The world promotes people into power, but God promotes people into service.In the Kingdom, authority is given based on humility, not ability.Mark 10:42-45 If you want to be a big deal to God, make serving others a big deal. Acts 6:7-8 "... Stephen, a man full of God's grace and power, performed amazing miracles and signs among the people."(For the record, signs wonders and miracles were not for the apostles only)Acts 6:9-15POINT #2: In order to make a difference, we must be filled with the Holy Spirit.So far, during this account of Stephen's story, he has been said to be full of faith, full of grace, full of power, full of wisdom, and twice so far he is said to be full of the Holy Spirit.Acts 1:8a "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you."The Holy Spirit doesn't fill you with power so you'll act weird in church. He fills you to empower you for personal maturity and public ministry. Ephesians 5:18We are to be in a perpetual state of infilling, because we are in a perpetual state of leaking.  Acts 7:1 Acts 7:51-60 POINT #3: Christian maturity is not a matter of self-help, but self-death.Most likely, God will not ask you to die for your faith. There are around 5000 Christians killed for their faith every year. We are blessed to have active ministry in 2 of the top 4 most dangerous countries for Christians to live in."Thy will be done" only works when we say also say "my will be gone."Galatians 2:20"I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me."Don't try to correct what God is trying to kill. Don't try to improve what God is trying to remove. Don't try to civilize what God is wanting to crucify. Acts 8:1b,4 The gospel got to you through Stephen's death. In the same way, your death—death to your will and you way—will lead to the spread of the gospel, too. What story are you writing?

Today on the broadcast I will be talking aboutThe Stoning of StephenActs 7:54-60 (KJV) When they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him with their teeth. 55 But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God, 56 And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God. 57 Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and ran upon him with one accord, 58 And cast him out of the city, and stoned him: and the witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man's feet, whose name was Saul. 59 And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit. 60 And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep.

Ian Grigsby shares how the stoning of Stephen points believers to Christ, who died for them and whose Spirit gives them peace amid persecution.

Acts 7:54-60

Title: The Stoning of Stephen Passage: Acts 7:54-60

A Higher CourtStephen is on trial and it's not going well. The deck is stacked against him.  But just as people in the courtroom erupt and begin to attack him, Stephen is given a gift. He has a vision of another courtroom, a higher courtroom.  Stephen lost his case in one court. But he didn't really care because he knew he won in the court that really matters. - Pastor Ron KoolSupport the show

Stephen's Defense - One of the scariest things we read when we study the Bible is that God's people are amazingly able to miss what God is doing. Time and time again it seems that those who should be most ready to see what God is doing miss what He is doing. This morning we'll listen as Stephen continues to give examples of how our fathers in the faith missed God's work. - Pastor Ron KoolSupport the show

The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on Acts 7, in which Stephen preaches to the Sanhedrin and is then stoned. Far from blaspheming the temple, he shows how Jesus is the fulfillment of all to which the temple pointed.

New things can be scary for all of us.  They certainly were for the Jewish religious leaders during the days of the early church.  This “new” teaching of the Apostles and others both scared these leaders and made them jealous.  Today we'll see that the “new” teaching of Jesus as the Messiah was something these leaders just couldn't handle. - Pastor Ron KoolSupport the show

The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on Acts 7, in which Stephen preaches to the Sanhedrin and is then stoned. Far from blaspheming the temple, he shows how Jesus is the fulfillment of all to which the temple pointed.

In today's episode, the guys discuss the stoning of Stephen, the first recorded martyr of the church. When we look at faith preachers of today, figures like Stephen and Job are not their favorite to talk about, but the experiences of those two men reflect the promises of the Scripture which tell us that we will experience trials and tribulations throughout our lives before entering the Kingdom. We should all look at Stephen and ask God to help us have a heart like his should we find ourselves in circumstances like he experienced.  What makes Stephen's story so powerful isn't that he dies, but how he died. While he was being stoned, he cried out to Jesus to receive his spirit and not to hold this sin against his killers. In this, he echoed the words of his Savior on the cross. We are reminded that Jesus died for our sins so that we may follow His example. We all should want to live and die like Stephen, full of faith, trust in God, and the love of God. He even went out preaching in the open air. Christians sharing the message of God should be bold, courageous, and able to share despite persecution. The essence of the Christian law is to always keep our eyes on Jesus, which is precisely what Stephen did. We are reminded that our lives are not our own. We have been bought for a price and eternity is coming, and Christians should move through the world with the mindset that all will be well. We should never stop sharing the gospel with others to let them know that the war against sin and death has been won. This is a message worth running for and worth dying for. There will come a day that we will be ushered into the Kingdom of Heaven, and on that day everything will make sense. Until then, however, things are bleak and dark. We must think back on those who gave their lives so that the truth of the gospel could be preserved and learn from their example. Stephen was not bitter at his death because he understood the reality of eternity. In closing, we are encouraged to be doers of the Word. Thanks for listening!

Stephen saw God's presence in life and in death, and God was faithful to lead him home.

Acts 6:8-8:3 | Stoning of Stephen - Even persecution and trouble cannot stop the good news of Jesus going out into all the world. Message by Anthony Webb, Ariah Park Baptist Church

Christopher continues the Acts Series with a look at the learns and encouragements from the life and terrible death of Stephen, the church's first martyr.

a. Stephen's Speech (7:1-53) b. The Stoning Of Stephen (7:54-60)

The end of Acts 7 brings us to the end of Stephen's speech and the religious leaders' reaction to the speech. They are heard-hearted and instead of receiving what Stephen has to say they kill him. They had the opportunity to understand God's pursuit of mankind, but instead of being teachable, they killed a man who was full of the Holy Spirit. The takeaway from Stephen's life is that we should be full of the Holy Spirit. Scripture repeatedly describes Stephen this way and instead of striving to be more like Stephen, we should strive to be more full of the Holy Spirit.

Rev. Scott Wright But they cried out with a loud voice and stopped their ears and rushed together at him. Then they cast him out of the city and stoned him. (Acts 7:57–58a ESV)

Stephen told people the truth. And they killed him for it.----The story of Stephen -in Acts 7- is typical in Scripture - a faithful man tells people the truth, and they respond by killing him. But why-- Why this ferocity-- Why this anger-- Click to learn more.
