Sermon Outline:

  1. Full Of Grace & Power
  2. Violent Opposition
  3. Worth Dying For

Reflection Questions:

  1. When you hear the phrase “full of grace and power” what (or who) do you vividly, personally, and particularly think about? Is the person(s) and/or particulars rule-oriented, reputable, and reasonable; OR is the person(s) and/or particulars wild, weird, and weak?
  2. What story and style are you intensely invested in these days?
  3. How have you personally felt opposed to something Jesus said or did? Did you get wrestled into a posture of joyful submission by God? …or did you decide to stay opposed to God for the long-haul?
  4. How do you feel about the fact that God put Stephen in a position to be mistreated so severely? Do you think that ‘the main thing’ in life should be to guarantee that no one ever gets mistreated like this ever again?
