As Stephen continues his defence speech to the Sanhedrin Council, he points out that the nation of Israel has a poor track record when it comes to listening to the ones God sends to rescue them – as shown in the story of Moses, their great lawgiver. “It’s one thing to pay lip service to God’s law and another thing altogether to serve him from the heart,” says Stephen – as shown by Israel’s refusal to pay attention to the Spirit or the Messiah.

After he is arrested, Stephen’s defence speech pushes back on his hard hearted Israelite opponents. They’re simply doing what they’ve always done, by opposing those God sends to save them. Opposing God’s saviour is never a smart option… why do we keep doing it?

Having survived the Devil’s onslaught of deception and duress, the infant church now faces the dangers of division and diversion. The apostles find new ways to keep focused on their mission, while prioritising practical care as well. Can we?

Alanis Morissette’s song “Ironic” has often been criticised for the way it misunderstands irony.

At a time when the fresh new church was sharing everything so that nobody was in need, one couple saw an opportunity to shine. But somehow, they completely missed the point – with disastrous consequences. Maybe money and hypocrisy are still the Devil’s favourite weapons today?

With the launch of the first century church, the Apostles immediately find themselves at the centre of a storm. In the name of Jesus, they raise a beggar from his mat, reminding the crowd that God raised Jesus from death in the same way. But if that’s true, there are big implications – which soon leads to trouble!

When the coronation crowd said “Long Live King Charles, may he live forever” nobody was thinking he actually will. But what if there really was an imperishable King? How would it affect our expectations, and the way we lived? That’s the radical question at the heart of the first ever public Christian sermon from the Apostle Peter.
