Acts 7

Acts is the only book in the New Testament that tells us what happened next. The Gospels end with a risen Jesus and a small, frightened group in an upstairs room, and roughly thirty years later that same movement is preaching openly in the capital of the empire. We usually read Acts in fragments—Pentecost one Sunday and the shipwreck another—and we miss the story Luke is actually telling. In this series, we are going to read it the way he wrote it: as one story with one main character, and it is not the apostles. The Spirit falls at Pentecost, sends Philip down a desert road with no explanation, interrupts Peter's theology on a rooftop, shuts a door to Asia and opens one to Europe. Nearly every time the Spirit moves, the church gets pushed across a boundary it never would have crossed on its own. Join us as we continue our series on Acts of the Spirit and explore how the Spirit had moved throughout Stephen's story and come expecting Him to move amongst us as well.
