Rules, Rituals, Realities & Reflections

Mar 30, 2025    Pastor Roy Mack

This message explores Stephen's powerful defense before the religious leaders, highlighting how God's work throughout history often disrupts our human tendencies towards rigid rules and empty rituals. We examined how figures like Abraham and Joseph prefigured Christ, demonstrating God's consistent pattern of using faith, sacrifice, and seeming setbacks to fulfill His greater purposes. This message challenges us to examine our own spiritual lives, ensuring we're pursuing a living relationship with God rather than merely adhering to traditions.
