STAND UP

This Sunday, Pastor Aaron Burke continued our series, When Life Gets Hard, by taking us into the life of Stephen—a man who refused to compromise, even when standing for his faith cost him everything.

We explored what it looks like to stand firm when culture pressures you to bow. To stand for your purpose. To stand for God's Church. To stand for your faith. Because the greatest challenge isn't what happens around us—it's whether we'll remain faithful when the pressure comes.

Stephen's story reminds us that courage isn't the absence of opposition. It's the decision to keep standing when everyone else sits down. And when Stephen stood, he discovered something powerful: Jesus was standing with him. If you've ever felt pressure to compromise, stay quiet, or give in to fear, this message is for you.

If you weren't there or want to revisit it, you won't want to miss this one.
