Show Notes

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.

Main Points:

Understanding the Weight of Resentment:
We explore how unresolved anger affects our spirit and robs us of joy, blocking our relationship with God and our ability to live on mission.

Stephen’s Example of Radical Forgiveness:
In Acts 7:57-60, Stephen prays for his persecutors as they stone him. His act reminds us that forgiveness isn’t denying our hurt—it’s about releasing others so we can experience peace.

Three Steps Toward Forgiveness:

  1. Understand Forgiveness: Learning to release resentment, trusting God with justice.
  2. Make a Decision to Forgive: Committing to forgive “seventy times seven” (Matthew 18:21-22).
  3. Create a Forgiveness Prayer: Writing a prayer can be a powerful tool to help let go and move forward in grace.

Key Scriptures:

Choose forgiveness today and experience the freedom and peace God has for you. Let's walk in Stephen’s example and live fully on mission, free from the weight of resentment.
