What this episode covers

Click/tap here to view the Sermon Reflection Guide. In the midst of suffering and tragedy, the example of Stephen in Acts 7:55–56 offers a profound glimpse of hope and perspective. As he faced death, Stephen, "full of the Holy Spirit, looked up to heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God." Even while being unjustly stoned, he fixed his eyes on the risen and exalted Lord. This vision reminds us that in our darkest moments, Christ is not distant—he is with us. Together with John 16:33, where Jesus assures us that though we will have trouble, he has overcome the world, we are able to acknowledge and face suffering with steadfast faith. The risen Lord is our peace in trials, our source of wisdom, our strength in weakness, and our hope beyond tragedy.
