The Face of Fire: When Grace Provokes Opposition
In Acts 6:8–15, Stephen’s radiant face becomes a mirror of heaven—and a threat to earth. This sermon explores the paradox of Spirit-filled ministry: how grace and power can provoke resistance, and how holiness often shines brightest in the face of hostility. From signs and wonders to false accusations, Stephen’s story challenges us to reflect Christ not just in speech, but in surrender. Join us as we unpack the courage, clarity, and transfiguration of a man whose glow became his final sermon and whose witness still speaks today.
