Will You Stand Firm? | Stephen’s Testimony (Acts 7)
What does it mean to stand firm when following Jesus comes at a cost? In Acts 6:8–7:60, Stephen boldly defends his faith before the religious leaders, confronts their rejection of God’s truth, and ultimately gives his life for Christ. His testimony challenges us to know what we believe, stand firm regardless of the consequences, and bless even those who oppose us.
The Church Organizes: Protecting the Mission
As the early church grew, so did its challenges. When a legitimate problem threatened to divide the congregation, the apostles led the church to address the need without abandoning its mission.
In this sermon from Acts 6:1–7, Pastor Ritch Sandford challenges believers to resist division, practice patience and forgiveness, and prioritize the mission of Jesus above personal preferences. Discover how a healthy church can face problems, care for its people, and continue advancing the gospel.
The Church Advances Under Fire
In Acts 5:21–42, the apostles face threats, violence, and pressure to stop preaching Jesus, yet they refuse to be silenced. Their example challenges us to obey God rather than ourselves, fear God rather than men, and follow Jesus wherever He leads.
Who’s First in Your Life?
Pastor Ritch teaches through Acts 5:12–21.
In Acts 5:12–21, God is doing extraordinary things through the early church. People are being healed, delivered, and saved—but while many rejoice at what God is doing, the religious leaders respond with jealousy and opposition.
Their response exposes an important question for every Christian: Who’s first in your life?
Jealousy can make us resent something good simply because someone else received the success, recognition, influence, or opportunity we wanted. The religious leaders were so concerned with protecting their own position that they were willing to oppose the very work of God.
The apostles show us a radically different response. After being arrested for preaching Jesus, an angel opens the prison and God sends them right back to the temple to keep preaching. They obey—even though obedience could cost them everything. God doesn’t ask us to understand the plan before we obey the command. Obedience trusts God with the consequences.
Attacks From WITHIN
Pastor Ritch teaches through Acts 5:1-16 with a focus on the dangers to the Church from within the Church itself.
Prayer, Boldness, & Generosity
Pastor Ritch teaches through Acts 4:23-37 with a focus on how the early church was marked by:
Selfless Prayer
Boldness in Preaching
Radical Generosity
