Stephen: The Spirit-Filled Man

The two greatest words in the Christian life: trust and obey. And Stephen did them both. He believed God; he did what the Spirit told him to do. His life was full of the Holy Spirit. What does it mean to be filled with the Spirit? It means to be under the control of the Holy Spirit. It means that the fruit of the Holy Spirit is evident in his life. He has that reputation. People see that in him.

Let's learn more from Stephen's example in this sermon.

“A dynamic growing church of transformed believers passionate for God.”

Has there ever been a church like that?

They saw souls saved in abundance. They were living in a day when the extraordinary was the order of the day. Imagine how dynamic and growing they were that on their inauguration day 3,000 got saved and baptized at one service.

Their secret? They were a movement that PRAYED.
