Is God present? - Acts 7:44-53 | Prescott Anglican Church

Text: Acts 7:44-53 In this sermon, we end Stephen's sermon. For the last several weeks, Stephen has been showing how God was with his people in unusual places, yet they rejected him, his servants, and his works. This week, we end with Stephen showing that God persisted with his people, traveling with them, that even though the temple was good, it was not God's home, and that the end goal of God's covenant with the Israelites was a converted people whose hearts had been transformed. The whole drive of Stephen's speech is to glorify Christ and challenge those who had made themselves His enemies to see His goodness.
