Acts, Media, Sermons | by Pastor Adam Sinnett

In Acts 6:8-7:60 we have witness the first martyr of the newly-forming early Christian church and the longest recorded sermon in the entire book. What we see demonstrated here is simple, but profound: God uses unlikely people, in unlikely ways, to achieve his unlikely purposes. He does that through His unlikely Gospel.

Acts, Media, Sermons | by Pastor Adam Sinnett

In Acts 6:1-7 the Enemy continues his attempts to sideline the newly forming early church, not by external persecution or internal hypocrisy, but by subtle distraction. The big idea here is that God wants us (individually and corporately) to experience healthy growth in Him, but distractions threaten that growth.
