Romans 15-4 teaches us that the content of the Old Testament can help and encourage us in our Christian lives today.--Stephen's sermon in Acts chapter 7-the longest message given in the book of Acts-rehearses the history of Israel and some of her greatest leaders. Stephen was showing that Jesus is the Messiah of Israel-and the one ultimately foreshadowed by all who came before him. We will learn this today from the classic Bible teaching of Dr. John Whitcomb.--Thanks for listening to -Encounter God's Truth- from Whitcomb Ministries, as we continue in Volume Two of the series, -Acts- Witness of the Early Church.---We offer our gratitude to Middletown Bible Church in Middletown, Connecticut-where these messages were recorded-for permitting us to bring this material to you here.--Host Wayne Shepherd reminds us that God's Word is true from the beginning to the end. We are so thankful to bring it to you once again on -Encounter God's Truth.-
