Grace & Mercy Is this THE Christian Shape?

Grace & Mercy Power – not easy

The Spirit Empowers Ask for the wisdom, grace, mercy and power of God And it will be given you : You will be full of wisdom, grace and power as you Serve, Pray, Proclaim, Trust, Forgive and do great wonders; You will have the face of an angel as you see the Glory of God

Acts 6 & 7 6:1 In those days when the number of disciples was increasing, the Grecian Jews among them complained against the Hebraic Jews because their widows were being overlooked in the daily distribution of food. 6:2 So the Twelve gathered all the disciples together and said, "It would not be right for us to neglect the ministry of the word of God in order to serve tables. 6:3 Brothers, choose seven men from among you who are known to be full of the Spirit and wisdom. We will turn this responsibility over to them 4 and will give our attention to prayer & the ministry of the word." 6:5 This proposal pleased the whole group. They chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit; also Philip, Procorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolas from Antioch, a convert to Judaism. 6:6 They presented these men to the apostles, who prayed and laid their hands on them.

6:7 So the word of God spread. The number of disciples in Jerusalem increased rapidly, and a large number of priests became obedient to the faith. 6:8 Now Stephen, a man full of God's grace and power, did great wonders and miraculous signs among the people. 6:9 Opposition arose, however, from members of the Synagogue of the Freedmen (as it was called) -- Jews of Cyrene and Alexandria as well as the provinces of Cilicia and Asia. These men began to argue with Stephen, 6:10 but they could not stand up against his wisdom or the Spirit by whom he spoke. 6:11 Then they secretly persuaded some men to say, "We have heard Stephen speak words of blasphemy against Moses and against God." 6:12 So they stirred up the people and the elders and the teachers of the law. They seized Stephen and brought him before the Sanhedrin. 6:13 They produced false witnesses, who testified, "This fellow never stops speaking against this holy place and against the law. 6:14 For we have heard him say that this Jesus of Nazareth will destroy this place and change the customs Moses handed down to us." 6:15 All who were sitting in the Sanhedrin looked intently at Stephen, and they saw that his face was like the face of an angel.

7:54 When they heard this, they were furious and gnashed their teeth at him. 7:55 But Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, looked up to heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. 7:56 "Look," he said, "I see heaven open and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God." 7:57 At this they covered their ears and, yelling at the top of their voices, they all rushed at him, 7:58 dragged him out of the city and began to stone him. Meanwhile, the witnesses laid their clothes at the feet of a young man named Saul. 7:59 While they were stoning him, Stephen prayed, "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit." 7:60 Then he fell on his knees and cried out, "Lord, do not hold this sin against them." When he had said this, he fell asleep. Thank God for his written Word to us

The Spirit Empowers Ask for the wisdom, grace, mercy and power of God And it will be given you : You will be full of wisdom, grace and power as you serve, Pray, Proclaim, Trust, Forgive and do great wonders; You will have the face of an angel as you see the Glory of God

“his face was like the face of an angel”

Turn your eyes upon Jesus Look full in his wonderful face And the things of earth will grow strangely dim In the light of this glory and grace Keep your eyes on Jesus Let nobody else take his place So that hour by hour you will know his power Till at last you have run the great race Love has a face and a name

May the fragrance of Jesus fill this place (x3) Lovely fragrance of Jesus, Rising from the sacrifice Of lives laid down in adoration. May the glory of Jesus fill His church. (x3) Radiant glory of Jesus, Shining from our faces As we gaze in adoration. May the beauty of Jesus fill my life. (x3) Perfect beauty of Jesus Fill my thoughts, my words, my deeds, My all I give in adoration. The Mercy Seat
