Stephen Tells the Story

July 9, 2023
Dave Brereton highlights the life and martyrdom of Stephen in Acts 7:1–8:3, presenting him as a model of humble service, deep scriptural knowledge, Spirit-filled boldness, and Christlike forgiveness. He shows how Stephen’s sweeping retelling of Israel’s history confronts misplaced confidence in land and temple, exposes a pattern of rejecting God’s messengers, and ultimately points to Jesus as the Righteous One.
