Topic: Sovereignty

Stephen’s bold faith and grace in proclaiming that God dwells in His people, despite opposition and false accusations, challenges us to live surrendered lives that reflect Jesus even amid hardship.

God’s kingdom is alive and active, and when we fully surrender to God’s authority, just like the early believers did, his power works through us—bringing hope, healing, and boldness to share Jesus with the world.

In Acts chapter 4, facing threats after a healing, the early believers prayed not for deliverance, but for boldness to continue God’s work, declaring His sovereignty and asking Him to stretch out His hand through them.
