Acts 6 and 7 tell us about a man named Stephen. We are told he was full of faith and the Holy Spirit.
As you read his brief story, you find that he was also knowledgeable, articulate, dedicated, courageous, and forgiving.
What did all these great qualities get him? Stoned...the biblical variety where people throw rocks at you until they kill you.
Well, actually the people might have been OK with the above mentioned qualities had it not been for two more Stephen possessed...conviction and honesty.
Worship with us, Sunday, as we examine these last two. Please leave your rocks at home.
