During this past Sunday's sermon Pastor Sam spoke on Acts 6 and 7. In that passage we meet Stephen, a man whose brief appearance in Scripture provides us with ample evidence of the ways in which a believer can bring glory to God. This week, we'll look at various aspects of Stephen's story and reflect on them in light of our personal lives.
In the face of a crisis involving conflict between Hebrew-speaking and Greek-speaking Jews, Stephen was recognized as a man who was full of the Holy Spirit.
In the face of persecution, Stephen consistently said yes to God and was not ashamed nor afraid to preach Christ.
In the face of death, Stephen experienced an open heaven and saw the resurrected Christ standing at the right hand of God, welcoming Stephen into the eternal kingdom.
Quite a track record for a man called to be a waiter.
What about you? Do you bring glory to God as you go about your daily work? Today, let's ask God to fill us anew with His Spirit so that our work colleagues will know Who we serve.
