Acts 6&7

Intro

missed a week

two chapters of Acts

the stoning of Stephen and the introduction of Saul

What the Spirit of God looks like

Seven

Hellenists and Hebrews

choosing workers to do more menial things

the eye witnesses will continue to be witnesses to the people

disciples multiplied and more were priests even became Christians

Sermon

Stephen full of grace and power

they could not dispute him

he speaks blasphemies against Moses- just as Jesus did

face like an angel

the covenant to Abraham, the words and example of Moses, point to Jesus and yet even in those times the people turned against God

they are always resisting the Holy Spirit

Stoning

this only makes them all angry

sees the glory of God

introducing Saul

with his last breath Stephen begs for mercy on the people who refused to hear him

Application

don’t miss the Spirit

it is moving and working and trying to be a part of your life

its trying to be all of your life

its easy to have a will for literally anything else

its not easy to see God at every opportunity that he is trying to work in your life
