Yesterday, Today & Forever
Today, we're reminded of a powerful truth: Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. In a world of constant change and turmoil, this message grounds us in an unchanging hope. We explored the story of Stephen in Acts 6 and 7, a man full of faith and the Holy Spirit who boldly proclaimed the gospel even in the face of persecution. His unwavering commitment challenges us to examine our own dedication to sharing God's truth, no matter the cost. Are we, like Stephen, willing to stand firm in our faith and forgive those who oppose us? This message urges us to be focused on the mission of reaching people for Christ, not getting caught up in trivial matters or shrinking back in fear. It's a call to action - to be the church that runs towards the mission field, whether that's in our workplace, school, or community. Let's be inspired by Stephen's example and ask God to use us to transform lives, just as He transformed Saul into Paul.
