Acts 18: A Peace That Speaks For Us (Acts 6:8-15)

We are in our series walking through the book of Acts; we have made it through 18 weeks (including this morning’s message). Element is walking through the book of Acts in an effort to look deeper into how the church started and what today’s church should be striving toward. Today, we get to look at a peace that speaks for us. In today’s text the opposition to the message of the Gospel is taken to new levels as a brand new deacon, named Stephen, is directly attacked about his views of hope in the person of Jesus. Eventually, they even drag Stephen before the Jewish Council and bring false witnesses against him in an effort to silence him.
