Acts 5-7.  Early on in Acts everything seems to be going well for the early church – there’s blessing all over the place: people getting healed, thousands added to the church every day.  It’s all good.  In Acts 7, things start to go a little pear shaped and the church starts to come under some hard-core persecution.  To understand what it means to be a Christian you have to understand that the gospel is both attractive and repulsive.  Attractive because God’s kingdom is ‘now‘ and repulsive because it’s ‘not yet‘.
