Acts 6:8-7:60.

A sermon in three parts:
1.  Stephen’s Story.  Point: God’s Spirit lives in God’s Man.  You can ONLY get God’s life from Jesus.
2.  Story about Stephen.  Point: Fearlessness and Power come from knowing the story about Jesus.
3.  Story of Stephen.  Point: As the Holy Spirit’s work increases, so too does resistance to the Spirit’s work.

Wrapped-Together: Want Life?  Get Spirit…Only Place: Jesus.  Want Jesus?  Know Him and His doings in His Story/Bible.  Got Life and sense of Jesus-With-You?  Fear nothing and Feel power.  And expect Resistance.  Then what?
Point: We meet resistance by returning to Jesus.
RETURN TO JESUS.  re- re- reTURN.
