In today’s message, “Why You Mad, Bro?” we dive into Acts 7, where Stephen’s story reveals powerful truths about forgiveness, freedom, and overcoming resentment. How often do we hold onto anger or bitterness that keeps us from experiencing true peace? Stephen’s radical forgiveness—even in the face of death—shows us the healing and freedom that only God’s grace can bring.
