Scattered, Not Stopped

What if what feels like God stopping something is actually God spreading it?

In “Scattered, Not Stopped,” we walk through Acts 6–8 and the story of Stephen to discover what faithfulness looks like when obedience gets costly and you cannot see the outcome.

Stephen was faithful. He was full of the Holy Spirit. He did what God called him to do—and his story still ended beneath a pile of stones. But what looked like failure became part of something much bigger. Persecution scattered the early church throughout Judea and Samaria, and those believers carried the gospel with them.

Sometimes you won’t see what God is doing through your obedience. Sometimes following Jesus will lead somewhere you never expected. But God never wastes your faithfulness.

In this message:

Faithfulness doesn’t require understanding

Faithfulness doesn’t change when it gets costly

Faithfulness produces fruit we may never see

Pressure reveals what is inside of us

Your faithfulness is not failure

Your responsibility is faithfulness; God’s responsibility is the outcome

This week: Be available. Be faithful. Trust God with what happens next.
