DESCRIPTION:Title:Stephen: Witness to Jesus\, Full of the Holy Spirit\nLocation:\n10:00 – 11:00 Fordham Church (Morning worship service)\n11:30 – 12:30 Eight Ash Green (Holy Communion service)\nPreacher: Francis Blight\nTeaching Passage: Acts 7:48-8:4 \nOnline Church: Watch\n                (This will be available from 10:00am on Sunday) \n                \n                \n                Online Church\n                \n                 \nActs 7:48 – 8:4\n\n\n\n\nBible Quote\n\n\n7:48 "However\, the Most High does not live in houses made by men. As the prophet says: \n7:49 " 'Heaven is my throne\, and the earth is my footstool. What kind of house will you build for me? says the Lord. Or where will my resting place be? \n7:50 Has not my hand made all these things?' \n\n7:51 "You stiff-necked people\, with uncircumcised hearts and ears! You are just like your fathers: You always resist the Holy Spirit! \n7:52 Was there ever a prophet your fathers did not persecute? They even killed those who predicted the coming of the Righteous One. And now you have betrayed and murdered him-- \n7:53 you who have received the law that was put into effect through angels but have not obeyed it." \n7:54 When they heard this\, they were furious and gnashed their teeth at him. \n7:55 But Stephen\, full of the Holy Spirit\, looked up to heaven and saw the glory of God\, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. \n\n7:56 "Look\," he said\, "I see heaven open and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God." \n7:57 At this they covered their ears and\, yelling at the top of their voices\, they all rushed at him\, \n7:58 dragged him out of the city and began to stone him. Meanwhile\, the witnesses laid their clothes at the feet of a young man named Saul. \n7:59 While they were stoning him\, Stephen prayed\, "Lord Jesus\, receive my spirit." \n7:60 Then he fell on his knees and cried out\, "Lord\, do not hold this sin against them." When he had said this\, he fell asleep. \n\n8:1 And Saul was there\, giving approval to his death.On that day a great persecution broke out against the church at Jerusalem\, and all except the apostles were scattered throughout Judea and Samaria. \n8:2 Godly men buried Stephen and mourned deeply for him. \n8:3 But Saul began to destroy the church. Going from house to house\, he dragged off men and women and put them in prison. \n8:4 Those who had been scattered preached the word wherever they went. \n8:5 Philip went down to a city in Samaria and proclaimed the Christ there. \n\n8:6 When the crowds heard Philip and saw the miraculous signs he did\, they all paid close attention to what he said. \n8:7 With shrieks\, evil spirits came out of many\, and many paralytics and cripples were healed. \n8:8 So there was great joy in that city. \n\n\n \n  \n\n
