Tipping Sacred Cows

February 25, 2024 • Dr. Joe Martin • Acts 7:1–53

In Acts chapters 6 and 7, we are told about Stephen, a man full of faith and the Holy Spirit. As he shared the truth about the identity and work of Jesus Christ, he encountered significant conflict.

Stand Up, Stand Up for Jesus

February 18, 2024 • Dr. Joe Martin • Acts 6:8–15
