Stephen Manley is a dear friend, mentor, and someone who has had a profound impact on my life and spiritual growth.

As a way to show tribute to Stephen Manley, I am releasing a few of my all-time favorite sermons of his that have deeply impacted my life.

In this message, Stephen preaches from Acts 1:8 and discusses Jesus’ answer to the disciple’s unasked question. We have often called this “the blue sermon”—what does it mean for you to be “blue all over.”
