Acts 7
In Acts 7, when Stephen prophecies to the religious Jews in his day, calling out their hard-heartedness against the Holy Spirit, the Jewish leaders stone Stephen in response. Our youth director Chris Waugh delivers a relevant message to us about the parallels between the religious people in Stephen’s day to the self-righteous religious of our time and culture, where mob violence on social media runs rampant and modern-day prophets are shut out. How often do we neglect Cross-centered community in favor of “being right?” This message leaves the listener to face hard questions about our role and response in today’s hostile culture and how we might miss the voice of God.
