The Way - Part 7

Stephen, an ordinary deacon, performed great signs and wonders because he was fully surrendered to God's purposes.

Being a living sacrifice means taking your everyday, ordinary life and placing it before God as an offering. Your regular job, daily interactions, and normal routines all become opportunities to serve God and share His love. When persecution scattered early believers after Stephen's martyrdom, these ordinary people preached the gospel wherever they went, causing the church to multiply exponentially. Your life itself is your message - a letter that anyone can read just by looking at you. The future of the church will be carried by the entire body of Christ activated for ministry, not just a few people on a platform.
