The Glory of God in the Death of His Saints

Series Title: Acts - Windows into the Missional Church Series Summary: God is orienting our minds around what Jesus wants his church to do and its influence on what Harbor City Church will do. Beginning with Jesus resurrection, the arrival of the Holy Spirit and the acts of the apostles, the church is established and grows, ultimately taking the Gospel to the world. Passages: Acts 6:8-15, Acts 7:54 Today's message continues reviewing the continued persecution of the early church, be it internal opposition where leadership is distracted from their primary purpose of ministry and prayer without losing sight of the importance in taking care of the widows in their community. What persists is the opposition from the religious establishment and a consistent source of conflict that finally erupts in the form of Stephen's death.
