The Big Picture | Acts 7 | May 3, 2026

The Big PictureActs 7Teacher: Pastor Tommy BaileyDate: May 3, 2026In Acts 6-7, we meet Stephen, the first Christian martyr, standing before the same religious council that condemned Jesus. Charged with blasphemy and facing death, he doesn't argue for his life. Instead, he retells the story of a pursuing God. From Abraham to Moses to David, Stephen traces the long thread of God's initiating grace through Israel's history, showing how every turn of history has been pointing to Jesus, the true and final Redeemer.Join Pastor Tommy as we consider the settled confidence of a man who knew to whom he belonged. Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit and unshaken, demonstrated a sturdy faith rooted not in religious systems, the law, or a temple made with hands, but in the God of glory who runs after rebel sinners and makes a way to reconcile them in Christ Jesus.Support the showTo find more resources like these, follow us:Website: https://thevillagechapel.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQVTzDbaiXVUAm_mUBDCTJAInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/tvcnashville/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tvcnashvilleX: https://twitter.com/tvcnashvilleTo support the ongoing mission of The Village Chapel go to https://thevillagechapel.com/give/.
