The Stoning And Martyrdom Of Stephen

In Acts 7, Stephen told people the truth. And they killed him for it.

The story of Stephen is not unusual in Scripture - a faithful man tells resentful people the truth, and they respond by killing him. But why? Why this reaction? Why this anger? In today's sermon, we'll consider the reasons and results of Stephen's martyrdom.

Questions We'll Address:
1) Did Saul (Paul) consent to Stephen's death?
2) What did Stephen say that made everyone so mad?
3) What does this text tell us about future persecution in the church?
