The Beauty of Gospel Fluency

How does knowing the grand narrative of Scripture change the way you view your present circumstances, your future, and your relationship with God?In this sermon on Acts 6:8–7:8, Lead Pastor Neil McClendon unpacks Stephen’s defense before the Sanhedrin to reveal the beauty and power of gospel fluency. Pastor Neil contrasts "temple thinking"—which restricts God to specific locations or religious traditions—with the truth that God is a God of glory who meets us anywhere and cares far more about a humble people than a physical place.
