On to the Next Place…
Acts 7:60-8:4
If we are going to accomplish the Lord’s work, then we must step out of our comfort zone. In today's Scripture, we see several examples of God’s people stepping out for the furtherance of the gospel. May God help us to make a difference in our Jerusalem and the uttermost parts of the earth.

A Little Hinge and a Big Door
Acts 7:58-8:3
The Lord is not dependent on any of us; we are simply tools for Him to use. In Scripture, you’ll often find the Lord using little hinges to open a big doors. Stephen allowed the Lord to use him as a hinge for the furtherance of the gospel — are we willing to do the same?

Asleep in Jesus
Acts 7:55-60
Sleeping is a gift from Almighty God! In Scripture, sleep is viewed in the physical realm, but it is also a picture of what happens when a believer dies. If you have put your faith in Him, you will simply fall asleep in Jesus when you die.

Finishing Well
Acts 7:55-56
At the end of Acts 7, we find a beautiful picture of a man finishing well. Stephen not only started full but finished full. If we want to finish well, the same way Stephen did, then we must serve the Lord and believe that this is not the end of the story.

One with Christ
John 17:20-26
As we conclude this study through John 17, we see more of the heart of the Lord Jesus. God desires for us to unite in obedience to the truth of God's Word. As we obey Scripture, we allow the Father to have His way in our lives. This is true oneness.

Rejection.
Acts 7:54
We see a picture of rejection in the response of the hearers to Stephen’s sermon. They were not rejecting Stephen; they were rejecting Christ. Many will not accept the truth, but some will receive it — are you willing to share the gospel despite being rejected?

Where Does God Live?
Acts 7:44-53
We cannot limit God to one place! In the book of Acts, the people had reduced religion to a building. God is greater than all of that; He cannot be confined to one place or time.

Truth!

The God of Glory
Acts 6:5-15
Stephen, the first martyr of the church, was allowed to see the God of glory as he died. Yet the secret of his strength was that he lived every day with his eyes on the God of glory. God lived in him, rested on him, and spoke through him! Learn how the God of glory can be revealed in us.

Serving the Lord Where You Are
Acts 6:5
We imagine that God does great things in far off places, but the ever present God desires to work wherever you are! In every place where Philip is found, he is serving the Lord. In your church, in this world, in your home - you can serve the Lord where you are.

God uses all types of people from all kinds of backgrounds. In fact, He can use anyone! The difficulty is not to be used by God, but to simply stay usable. Take this spiritual check-up and see if you are a person God can use.

A Full Life
Acts 6:1-8
What constitutes a full life? Today we identify four things that should fill the life of every believer. Life is not to be measured in length, but in spiritual strength. A life that is full of God and His resources is a full life!

The Deacon’s Business
Acts 6:1-8
Everything is not "my business." We each have our assignment from God. In the local church, the business of deacons is to help both pastor and people. Not all of us will be deacons, but all of us can become servants.

It’s Not Just About the Numbers
Acts 6:1-7
So much of life is measured by numbers, but the work of God is not just about the numbers. In this study we learn some higher math and are reminded that God's calculations are always greater than ours!

God’s Gospel Plan
Acts 5:41-42
God's command to take the gospel to the whole world was coupled with divine enabling and a divine plan. Human schemes and brilliant strategies fall short of the simple method the Lord set in motion. One verse summarizes God's gospel plan.

False Teachers and Lasting Truth
Acts 5:33-40
Gamaliel. Theudas. Judas. These little known men in Acts 5 are a reminder that all lies come to nothing in the end. Identify the marks of false teachers and remember that only the truth lasts.

We Ought to Obey God Rather Than Men
Acts 5:21-32
Everyone obeys someone. Our days will either be lived to please people or to obey God. God's power is demonstrated and God's protection is experienced through the life of obedience.
