Today we read about a great conversation between the deacon Philip and a Ethiopian official in the queen's court. Philip engages this man with a friendly question, and this has a discussion with him about a Bible passage, that leads to a discussion about Jesus, that ultimately leads to the Ethiopian official getting saved, and sharing the gospel with an entire people group. What did Philip do in that conversation that we can learn from?
Stephen the deacon was the first recorded martyr in the history of the church. He was killed by men who were enraged that he spoke truth to them.
