Episode 51: Acts 7 - The Gospel in the Story of Stephen

August 9, 2022 - Host: Dr. Gregory Hall 

In Acts 7, Stephen becomes the first of the "Christ-Followers" to be killed for his faith. And right before he dies he gives a long sermon that most readers just skip right over… because they think it’s not relevant. But for some reason, Luke under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, thought the details of this chapter important enough to include. Today, we’ll look at how Luke uniquely shares the good news of Jesus through the story of Stephen.
