LIFE UNSTOPPABLE: Unstoppable Commitment

Stephen was called to help serve in the church. His Spirit-filled message attracted the attention of the Sanheidren and angered them to the point of driving them to stone Stephen. To the very end, the martyr’s message was true and bold, and his heart was filled with grace and forgiveness. The mission that God has given us requires us to speak boldly and be committed to grace and forgiveness.
