Stephen Becomes the First Martyr (Acts 6:8-7:60)

Pastor Chase Replogle

The opposition had been growing in Jerusalem, even as the church continued to add new believers to its numbers. A conflict arose between Stephen and one of the synagogues. Through false witnesses, they dragged Stephen before the Jewish leaders, where he offered an insightful recount of Jewish history with a focused conclusion on Christ and his rule.
