Think of the disturbing images in your life. The things you wish weren’t there. The hardships. The trials. The things we would rather put off. The things you have to do that you don’t like to think about. Think of what’s grotesque in your life. This is your cross, your place to die to yourself and live for Christ. Martin Luther said, “A religion that gives nothing, costs nothing, and suffers nothing, is worth nothing.”

We’re all looking for something. Looking for love. Meaning or acceptance. Looking for answers. In the U.S., Google processes 78,000 searches/minute, every minute of every day.

Judas Iscariot committed what may be the most spectacular sin in the history of the world – the betrayal of the only Son of God into sinful men.

The Christian life is harder than the non-Christian life because people will hurt you and you don't get to turn around and treat them the same way.

The followers of Jesus are facing persecution, martyrdom, and attack every day. How will we respond? In this message, the death of Stephen and his vision of the risen Jesus show us how to withstand persecution and forgive those who have wronged us over and over and over.
