  3. St Stephen’s Gate Jerusalem Glowing God Acts 6:8-8:1

  4. Acts 6:7 So the word of God spread. The number of disciples in Jerusalem increased rapidly, and a large number of priests became obedient to the faith.

  5. Filled with God’s Character 6:8-15 Living Like Jesus 6:8 8 Now Stephen, a man full of God’s grace and power, did great wonders and miraculous signs among the people. 5 They chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit.

  6. Speaking for Jesus 6:9-10 9 Opposition arose, however, from members of the Synagogue of the Freedmen (as it was called)—Jews of Cyrene and Alexandria as well as the provinces of Cilicia and Asia. These men began to argue with Stephen, 10 but they could not stand up against his wisdom or the Spirit by whom he spoke.

  7. Shining Out Jesus 6:11-15 11/12 Then they secretly persuaded some men to say, "We have heard Stephen speak words of blasphemy against Moses and against God.” So they stirred up the people and the elders and the teachers of the law. They seized Stephen and brought him before the Sanhedrin. 13 They produced false witnesses, who testified, "This fellow never stops speaking against this holy place and against the law.

  8. 14 For we have heard him say that this Jesus of Nazareth will destroy this place and change the customs Moses handed down to us. 15 All who were sitting in the Sanhedrin looked intently at Stephen, and they saw that his face was like the face of an angel.

  9. Delivering God’s Message 7:1-53 Abraham v1-16 God’s Glory in Mesopotamia v1-8 God’s Presence in Egypt v9-16 Moses v17-43 God’s Promise in Egypt v17-29 God’s Glory in the Desert v30-41 Israel’s Rejection of God

  10. Tabernacles and Temples v44-50 Rejected God’s Presence Rejecting God v51-53 Persecuted Prophets Resisted Holy Spirit Disobeyed Law

  11. Translated to God’s Glory 7:54-8:1 Red-faced Anger v54 54 When they heard this, they were furious and gnashed their teeth at him.

  12. Spirit-filled Visions v55-56 55 But Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, looked up to heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. 56 "Look," he said, "I see heaven open and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God."

  13. What He Saw What He Said

  14. Vitriolic Hatred v57-58 57 At this they covered their ears and, yelling at the top of their voices, they all rushed at him, 58 dragged him out of the city and began to stone him.

  15. Unbelievable Results v59-8:1 58 Meanwhile, the witnesses laid their clothes at the feet of a young man named Saul. 59 While they were stoning him, Stephen prayed, "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit." 60 Then he fell on his knees and cried out, "Lord, do not hold this sin against them." When he had said this, he fell asleep. 1 And Saul was there, giving approval to his death.
