Can we trust God to do what he says? - Acts 7:1-8 Sermon | Anglican Church Prescott

God always fulfills his promises.

Text: Acts 7:1-8

In this sermon, we start looking at Stephen's sermon. The sermon is a Biblically rich rebuke of the religious leaders of his time. The overarching argument is that it should be no surprise that the people mistreated Jesus as they have routinely mistreated God's prophets and servants.

But this week, we lay a foundation - God is a faithful God, he will complete that which he promises. Stephen shows this by looking at Abraham's life. Abraham does not receive the land that he is promised, but instead, it takes several generations for that to happen. But that didn't mean God was unfaithful; it meant that God would complete what he promised in the fullness of time.
