Under Fire, Pressure Reveals the Real Me

May 17, 2026 • Pastor Sammie Brooks

Pastor Sammie Brooks delivers a powerful message from Acts 6:8-15 about Stephen, a man full of faith and the Holy Spirit who faces false accusations from Greek-speaking Jews. The sermon emphasizes that Stephen’s wisdom and boldness come from being filled with the Holy Spirit and yielding daily to His control. When opponents cannot defeat Stephen’s arguments, they resort to lies and false witnesses, accusing him of blasphemy. Despite the serious accusations, Stephen remains calm and composed, his face shining like an angel. Pastor Sammie highlights how pressure reveals our true spiritual condition and encourages believers to trust God rather than retaliate when facing accusations, remembering that Jesus is our advocate.
