In this message, Pastor Austin Presnell teaches through the story of Stephen in Acts 6–7 — a man whose faith and courage stood out in a world that didn’t always understand him. Stephen reminds us that real conviction doesn’t come from trying to control the outcome but from trusting the Spirit who leads us. His words challenged the idea that God’s presence is limited to a place, showing instead that He lives and moves through His people.
Even in the face of resistance, Stephen stayed steady, not defending himself, but pointing back to Jesus. His story pushes us to consider what courage looks like in our own lives: how we respond when following God feels costly, and what it means to stay faithful even when it’s uncomfortable.
