Is it possible for God’s purposes to stay the same even when everything pushes back? This episode steps straight into the tension between human resistance to the things of God and the immovable purposes of God. In Acts 6–7 Stephen finds himself in the middle of severe opposition with extreme consequences for his faith and obedience to the purpose of God and instead of turning back he gives a long speech outlining how God's Purpose has always worked through human resistance. Woven through the heart of the human story, from Abraham to Joseph and from Moses all the way to Jesus stephen reveals examples of God's purpose flowing through human opposition to it. So what happens when we refuse to move from God’s purpose in the midst of opposition today? What can Stephen teach us about staying faithful when resistance rises? Join us as we explore the pattern Stephen reveals and the hope it offers for today’s church when the Gospel stars resistance in the face.
