Topic: Surrender

We are reminded that in times of tragedy and division, our hope is in Jesus, and by surrendering to God’s Word—sweeter than honey—we live out our faith through prayer, worship, love, and daily obedience.

The message emphasizes that worship must overflow into prayer, teaching us to continually seek God’s presence and align our hearts with His will rather than trying to bend Him to ours.

Stephen’s story reminds us that when we fully surrender to God, live empowered by the Holy Spirit, and keep our eyes on Jesus, we can boldly stand for truth—no matter the cost—and be used by God to spread His message to the world.

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, the early believers, facing threats after a healing, 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.
