From the pantry to the pulpit
The wrong crowd.
Paul was probably there - Tarsus is the capital of Cilicia.
When you face an argument you can’t answer:
You are embarrassed.
You are frustrated.
You are faced with a choice.
(Accept or reject)
Stirred up the people.
False witnesses.
speaking against the holy place and the Law.
Jesus will destroy will destroy this place and alter the customs which Moses handed down.
They are faced with dealing with what they heard and what they see.
Stephen’s Defense
Our people (you) have a history of rejecting the people God’s chooses to speak through, and 2. being disobedient to God’s direction.
Abraham
Abraham had faith in God and believed God’s promise even when his circumstances didn’t match what God was saying.
Where is your faith?
Cutting away of the flesh.
He would bring that point at the end to call them uncircumcised of the heart.
Joseph
Joseph was chosen by God to lead His people, but they rejected him.
It is an interesting parallel that his brothers didn’t recognize him until his second visit.
The Jews came to Egypt and flourished, but a new king over Egypt arose that knew nothing about Joseph.
Moses
Once again driving home his point that the Jews regularly rejected the people God raised up to lead them.
Mount of Transfiguration
Jesus took Peter, James and John.
Moses and Elijah (The Law and the Prophets)
Jesus was glowing

Our father were quick to turn away from God.
Where is the Temple of God?
The straw that broke the camels back.
Their response:
It is a regular thing that people will come up to me and say, “man you stepped on my toes today.”
If God’s word doesn’t ever step on your toes, be afraid; because when your imperfect life comes face to face with His perfect nature, there will be conflict.
I am speaking not specifically, but this is probably true: Not everyone that comes into this church will see His Kingdom.
Not because you haven’t heard sound doctrine, but because your heart is uncircumcised.
You are focused on the flesh and not on the promises of God.
Continually humbling and emptying yourself and obeying Christ.
Jesus told the high priest in Mark 14:
Within you, the believer, lives the same spirit that lived in Stephen and within you flesh lives the same spirit that lived in those that stoned him.
