Christian Stewardship: Acts 5:12-30: Marvelous things happened in the time after Easter because God’s Holy Spirit was active in the “new lives” of the apostles and the first Christian converts. They gave a bold witness of this “newness” through words and deeds. Our positive Christian stewardship is also a powerful witness that our lives have been changed forever because of the resurrection of our Lord.
