November 11 2007 – Audio Sermon on Acts 7:40–50 by Pastor William Hixson

Stephen recounts Israel’s history including the wilderness and the tabernacle to show God’s presence is not confined to a building The passage challenges misplaced confidence in institutions and points to God’s sovereign purposes. By retelling the story of God’s guidance, Stephen reframes identity around covenant faithfulness rather than physical structures, urging the community to recognize God’s presence beyond ritual and to embrace a living relationship with the Lord that transcends buildings and traditions
