Stephen delivers a powerful sermon tracing Israel's pattern of rejecting leaders sent by God, illustrating how people focused on religion rather than relationship with God missed the true path to life.
• Abraham trusted not in promises but in the God who made them
• Joseph was rejected by his brothers yet used by God to save many lives
• Moses was educated in Egypt's wisdom and called by God despite Israel's rejection
• The temple was never meant to contain God but to represent His presence
• Religious leaders were "stiff-necked" with "uncircumcised hearts" who rejected Jesus
• True life comes only through relationship with the Life-Giver
• Our personal ambitions and plans often cause us to miss God's purpose
• Depending on Christ rather than self-righteousness is the path to real life
If you've never trusted Christ as your Savior, today can be the day of your salvation. If you're a believer who's been trying to figure life out on your own, repent and trust the Life-Giver once again.
