What do you do when you're misunderstood, falsely accused, or facing opposition for your faith?
When Stephen was brought before the religious leaders, he didn't make his defense about himself. He pointed them to Jesus.
Stephen's story reminds us that not everyone will understand or receive the truth of the Gospel. But even in the face of rejection, we can remain faithful, extend grace, and trust that God is working in ways we cannot yet see.
When we surrender our need to defend ourselves, keep our eyes on Jesus, and trust Him with the outcome, God can use even our most difficult circumstances to accomplish His purposes.

The Book of Acts | Faithful Under Fire
What does it look like to remain faithful to Jesus when following Him comes at a cost?
As we continue our series, we see Peter and John facing opposition for boldly proclaiming the Gospel. Despite being arrested and questioned by religious leaders, they refused to back down from the truth of who Jesus is.
Their courage wasn't rooted in their education, abilities, or influence. It came from being filled with the Holy Spirit and spending time with Jesus.
The same Holy Spirit who gave Peter and John courage is at work in us today. No matter what opposition we face, we can remain faithful because our confidence isn't found in ourselves, but in the One who empowers us.

The Book of Acts | The Holy Spirit
What does it look like to be a church empowered by the Holy Spirit?
As we begin our new series, The Church Unhindered, through the book of Acts, we see Jesus preparing His followers for a mission bigger than they could accomplish on their own. While the disciples wanted a timeline, Jesus gave them an assignment: “You will be my witnesses.”
Then, at Pentecost, everything changed.
The Holy Spirit filled the believers, God’s presence no longer dwelled only in a temple made by human hands, and the Church was empowered to carry the Gospel to the ends of the earth. What happened in Acts 2 wasn’t simply a miraculous moment - it was the beginning of a Spirit-filled, Jesus-centered movement that would change the world.
And the miracle was never the point. Jesus was.
