Transformers - Stephen: The First Martyr

Join us at Brisbane Central as we continue our series, Transformers. This week Pastor Neli discusses the story of Stephen, the first Christian martyr, and emphasises the idea of having a faith that's not just worth living for but also worth dying for. Stephen had unwavering faith even in the face of persecution. It is important we have faith with action, when we are faced with the challenge of living out our faith authentically.  Be challenged to live a faith that's truly worth everything we have. Is your faith worth living and dying for?

Then they cast him out of the city and stoned him. And the witnesses laid down their garments at the feet of a young man named Saul. And as they were stoning Stephen, he called out, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.” And falling to his knees he cried out with a loud voice, “Lord, do not hold this sin against them.” And when he had said this, he fell asleep. - Acts 7:58-60 (ESV)
