From the Sermon:

__________ was described as someone full of faith and the Holy Spirit.

In chapter 7 Stephen goes on to tell the glorious story of Jesus Christ and what happened? The people ________________.

Blessed are those who are _____________ for righteousness’ sake.

Your faith isn’t meant to be ____________.

We have tricked ourselves into believing that faith and our response is supposed to be __________.

Reflection Questions:

Why did the early Church keep proclaiming the name of Jesus Christ through all that they faced?

Do we have the passion of the early church?

What does it mean to choose Christ?

Prayer:

God, we confess that sometimes we want a faith that is comfortable and easy and we get distressed when it is not so. Lord, strengthen us, like you have strengthened your church through the ages, to proclaim your name in all times and in all places. Amen.
