The Evangelical Identity Crisis | The Jesus Revolution | Acts 6:8-15
Sunday Apr 13, 2025
Sunday Apr 13, 2025
Has the word "Evangelical" lost its meaning? In this powerful message, Pastor Leonce calls out the growing confusion between political allegiance and spiritual identity. With raw honesty and biblical insight, he challenges the Church to wake up to a crisis: when 71% of believers prioritize party over pastors, what does that say about our faith?
Drawing from Acts 6:8-15 and the bold stand of Stephen, this sermon is a call to return to a faith rooted in Jesus—not politics. It’s time to reclaim the word Evangelical and live out a Gospel that reflects love, truth, and courage.
Listen now and ask yourself: Am I following Jesus… or something else?
