The God Of Glory - Norm Wells

The sermon explores the life of Stephen, a Hellenistic Jew chosen to assist the early Church, highlighting his unwavering faith and proclamation of Jesus Christ. Drawing from Acts 7, the message emphasizes God's Sovereign grace in calling Abraham from idolatry and subsequently revealing Himself throughout Old Testament history, culminating in the revelation of Christ. The speaker underscores that God's election is not based on merit but on His own initiative, contrasting this with the religious legalism of the Pharisees and Sadducees, and ultimately pointing to the Church as the true continuation of God's Covenant with Abraham, a spiritual Israel defined by faith in Christ rather than ethnic lineage.
