But God...... Acts 7
Stephen is accused in chapter 6. He gives a lengthy defence when he was asked by the High Priest, who was the same high priest who condemned Jesus to be crucified. Did he really defend himself? or did he turn the tables on their head. Several themes are intermingled: Israel's rejection of Joseph, Moses, Jesus, Stephen himself; God is not limited to reveal himself only in the land of Israel; their disobedience to the law etc

Qualifications of Apostles, qualifications of believer Acts 6
Qualifications of apostles is they were full of wisdom and Holy Spirit. You see this in chapter 2, 4 and 6. When the dispute arose about distribution of food to the widows, apostles asked them to present seven men full of wisdom and the Holy Spirit. They presented Stephen, Philip and five others. Stephen is the first to be mentioned because Luke is going to talk about him at length.
Where was he all This time? He appears like a shooting star, burns bright and disappears quickly. He was not one of those selected by Jesus himself. But no less. He was on par with apostles and Paul.

Obey God rather than men Acts 5 12-42
After the judgement of the Lord on Ananias and Sapphire people were afraid to join the apostles. But they held them in high esteem. Those who are genuine in their faith were being added to the church. The people swing to the other extreme and bring the sick and laid them on the street so that Peter's shadow might fall on them and heal them! The scripture affirms that "all were healed". We continue to learn about Gamaliel being a pharisee yet was respected by the Saducees who were his rivals. Yet he did not see Jesus in good light. He tried to compare with two criminals. He did not share the respect Nicodemus had for Jesus or of Joseph of Arimathea. His scholarship is not unbiased and truth is not the basis of his life. Apostles said, "we have to obey God rather than men". Gamaliel is buried and his memory is also buried and forgotten.

God cannot be deceived Acts 5:1-11
Joseph Barnabas sold his property and brought the money and put it at the feet of Apostle Peter. Ananias and Sapphira
wanted to do the same to get same recognition but wanted to keep back some of the proceeds. Peter confronted Ananias with the truth. When Ananias was exposed, he had a heart attack and fell down dead. Ooops!

How sold out to Jesus are you? Acts 4:23-31
v23 Peter and John went back to their own people. That was the group not consisting of 3000 or 5000 people. That is the core group of praying people. That is the centre of power. We might think of White House as a place of power or some capital city of a country. But, that band of praying people for the centre of power. Their unselfish prayer moved the hand of God and the place where they prayed shook, people were filled with the Holy Spirit and they spoke the word of God boldly. What an immediate answer to prayer.

When you are with Jesus, you become like Jesus Acts 4 1-12
If we read 2 Samuel 23, we see a list of mighty men who were in David's service. How did they become mighty men? When they came to him they were destitutes, in debt and threatened by king Saul. Because of their association with David, they were gradually changed into mighty men. That is what happened to the apostles. They were recognised as men who were with Jesus. That accounted for their smartness, knowledge of scriptures, boldness in facing the Sanhedrin etc.
