Defining Moments , Part 4: New Purpose
Acts 5-7, esp. 7:55-57
Stephen killed for Following Jesus!!
Peter and the other disciples continue to be bold and courageous in sharing the good news about Jesus. Pretty soon their small group of about 100 grows to over 5,000! Now we see Peter leading a growing movement, with more and more Holy Spirit-filled believers emerging. One was young man named Stephen. Stephen's boldness caught the attention of the religious authorities who arrest him. During his defense speech, Stephen concludes by describing a vision, one with Jesus standing at the right hand of God. Curious... nowhere else is Jesus shown to be standing. What does it mean? Check out the message to find out!
Peter was one of Jesus’ followers 2000 years ago who never quite overcame his failures until a series of defining moments gave him new hope, a new start, new power, and a new purpose for his life. Experience these same moments just as Peter did and discover how good God is and the whole new life He has for you.
