These chapters mark a turning point in the story of the early Church. Stephen delivers a powerful defense of the gospel and becomes the first Christian martyr, entrusting his spirit to Jesus even as stones fall. Saul of Tarsus rises as a fierce persecutor—until he is stopped on the Damascus road by the risen Christ. Meanwhile, the Church continues to grow as Philip brings the gospel to Samaria and beyond. From tragedy to transformation, God shows that nothing can stop His mission.Questions:1. Stephen’s boldness comes from a deep understanding of God’s story. How does knowing Scripture give us courage in difficult moments?2. Saul’s conversion in Acts 9 is sudden and dramatic. How does his story challenge our assumptions about who is “too far gone” for God to reach?3. Philip obeys the Spirit’s leading, even when it means going to unexpected places. How can we cultivate that same sensitivity to God’s direction?Use my affiliate link to get the CSB apologetics study bible hereMy video review the CSB Apologetics Study BibleAll our links are here
