Established In Truth 05-24-2026

In this Pentecost Sunday sermon titled Established in Truth — part of an ongoing series called Unstoppable — Pastor Nick walks through the story of Stephen in Acts 6 and 7, using it as a lens for what it means to live boldly in faith. When the Sanhedrin demanded a simple yes-or-no answer from Stephen, he responded with neither — instead offering what Pastor Nick calls "the third option": truth rooted in God's word. The sermon weaves together themes of identity in Christ, the danger of a complaining culture, and the difference between worldly relaxation and true biblical rest, culminating in the striking contrast between Saul — who stood by at Stephen's stoning — and the same man who later wrote that nothing can separate us from God's love. The takeaway is a call to move beyond merely professing scripture to genuinely possessing and expressing it, grounded in a daily, intimate relationship with God.
