(Acts 6:7-15; Dr. Baines, Jr.)
Introduction: A key idea in today’s lesson is that Stephen stayed focused on God, while religious people attacked him. Prayerfully, we will be challenged to stay focused on living for God, despite being attacked by others.
Applications:
1. Disciple making. Based on vs. 7, let’s work on supporting the making of disciples.
2. Glorifying God. Based on vss. 8,10, let’s work on living a life that glorifies God.
3. Religious attacks. Based on vs. 9, 11-14, let’s brace ourselves for opposition and attack as well as avoid being recruited into the devil’s plans.
4. Face like an angel. Based on vs. 15, let’s work on staying focused on God, especially in our times of trouble.
