ACTS : week 12

Levi Lusko - Fresh Life Church

A Bullet-Train Through the Bible
Acts 7:1-53

Stephen's overview of the Old Testament.

Two recurring themes:
1. God's faithfulness to keep His promises.
2. Point out the Jewish nations continual unfaithfulness at keeping their word.

God is consistent.

Stephen chose to emphasize the patriarchs.
1st : Abraham.
Isaac - Jacob - 12 prophets
Stephen is pointing out that God fulfilled His promise to Abraham.

Joseph.
He's pointing out that the patriarchs rebelled.

It is possible to suffer in the Will of God.

Moses.
For 40 years Moses thought he was somebody.
The next 40 years he found out he was a nobody.
The third 40 years he found out that God can use a somebody that knows they're a nobody.

Stephen would encourage you to know the History of the Bible.
When put on the spot you can give testimony to the Truths of Christ.
