Death is A Witness (Part 1)

April 19, 2017

We often have trouble connecting the dots between the observed tradition (that Christ rose from the grave), and our living out of that truth. In Acts 6:8-7:60 we see a man named Stephen who was clothed in Christ. He shows us what the risen Christ does within the lives of those who belong to Jesus.
