Levi Lusko - Fresh Life Church
The Secret to SufferingActs 7:54-8:4
Stephen's stoning.
The first Christian to be martyred for his faith.
He was on trial and retraced Jewish history.
He showed their was a pattern in Jewish history of rebellion.
He showed them that they had rejected Jesus.
The secret to dying well.
1. Don't focus on the pain
Stephen didn't focus on the pain, he gazed into Heaven!
The Holy Spirit working through the church is emphasized all throughout the book of Acts.
His last words were not of despair but of destination.
The vehicle in which God ushers us into His presence or the closed door.
2. Don't think it's in vain
God brings good out of bad.
You are the salt of the earth.
Through persecution God helps get the Good Word out.
