Sep 14th DQs

In this powerful message, we're challenged to examine our readiness to stand for our faith in an increasingly hostile world. The story of Stephen in Acts 7 serves as a poignant reminder of the courage required to be a true disciple of Christ. Stephen's unwavering faith, even in the face of death, exemplifies the kind of spiritual strength we're called to cultivate. As we reflect on Stephen's martyrdom, we're prompted to consider: Are we prepared to stand firm in our beliefs, even when faced with opposition? This message urges us to deepen our understanding of Scripture, to be 'always ready to give a defense' for our faith, and to recognize that our ultimate allegiance is to Christ, not earthly comforts or approval.
