Spirit-Filled Passion

Radical with David Platt

Whether it’s stories of the early church or Christians who are suffering for the sake of the gospel today, we sometimes wonder, “Is it possible for us to have that kind of faith today?” In this message from Acts 7:54–8:4, David Platt explains why he thinks the answer is yes. With the martyrdom of Stephen as an example, we can see what it looks like to live—and die—in order to make Christ known. God has chosen to use suffering and persecution to spread his gospel to the ends of the earth.
