Standing With Stephen: The Unstoppable Movement, Acts 6-7 Deep Dive
Join the teaching pastors of CityRise Church (Dr. Roger Patterson, Dr. Mark Edworthy, Justo Robinson, and Tim Yeager) for Sermon Conversations (Episode 88) as they dive deep into Acts chapters 6 and 7.
In this episode, our pastors unpack the incredible life, bold witness, and tragic martyrdom of Stephen. From the early church choosing its first deacons to handle practical community needs, to Stephen's Spirit-empowered defense of Israel's history, and his striking vision of Jesus standing at the right hand of God, this conversation explores what it truly means to live—and die—with unwavering faithfulness to Christ.
Discover how hardship fuels the unstoppable movement of God, how to guard your heart against spiritual hardness, and what it looks like to extend radical forgiveness just as Stephen did.
