A Bold and Powerful Witness
Acts 6:8-15
Stephen was one of the 7, not an apostle
A church member
Took food to little old ladies
Full of Grace and Power
All of us should be bold witnesses
[[2Tim.
1:7]]
The same Holy Spirit empowers all true believers
[[Acts 5:32]]
God was using Stephen in a spectacular way
Great signs and wonders v. 8
God gifts each person in a special way
Only you are you
Witness as God has created you to witness
Opposition was growing
We should all be prepared for opposition
We are sheep among wolves
[[Matthew 10:16]]
Wolves will come anywhere there are Lambs
God was giving Stephen great wisdom
Holy Spirit gave him the words to say
[[Acts 6:10]]
God will gives us the wisdom to do His work
In the power of the Holy Spirit boldly proclaim the truth of Jesus Christ.
False accusations v. 11
Stirred up the people (crowds) elders (leaders) and scribes (legal and academic) against Stephen v. 12
False witnesses v. 13
Same accusations that were made against Jesus
[[Mark 14:57-59]]
[[Acts 6:13-14]]
We will also face opposition and accusation when we stand for Christ.
In that moment God gave Stephen a very special empowerment that reflected on his face
God gives us the power we need to boldly stand in the face of opposition and proclaim His Truth.
