📖 How Libertine Philosophy Killed Stephen & Why It Still Threatens the Church Today What happens when people twist freedom in Christ into a license to sin? In this powerful exposition of Acts 6-7, we uncover the shocking truth about the libertines who murdered Stephen—and how their dangerous philosophy is still destroying believers today. The libertines were freed Jewish slaves who became enslaved to something far worse: a twisted form of religious liberty that justified bearing false witness, quenching the Holy Spirit, and ultimately murdering God's prophet. They valued their religious system more than truth itself, their temple more than the Temple Builder, and their traditions more than transformation. This message exposes two dangerous ditches the modern church must avoid: legalism that kills truth with rules, and libertinism that kills truth with "rights." Both create their own standards, justify sin, and persecute true righteousness. The legalist says "my zeal justifies my methods" while the libertine declares "God's grace covers my lifestyle." Both are deadly wrong. Discover how grace actually works according to Titus 2—it doesn't just save us, it teaches us to deny ungodliness and live righteously. Learn why Romans 6 makes it crystal clear: we're set free FROM sin, not free TO sin. We become servants of righteousness, not independent rebels pursuing freedom from God rather than freedom for God. This sermon tackles critical questions facing every church: How do we deal with libertinism in our own hearts? Why must older believers teach sound doctrine to younger generations?
