Anthem Podcast: My Witnesses // Acts 7:54-60

Last week we covered Stephen’s Spirit-empowered sermon. This week we examined the Sanhedrin’s quick and violent response. Rather than feeling conviction that led to repentance, the Jewish leaders were filled with rage and stoned Stephen to death. While we might not die in a martyr’s death, each of us will experience physical death sooner or later. The scriptures speak extensively about how believers ought to view the death of our mortal bodies, encouraging us to view this event in light of the Gospel of Jesus Christ who has not only been raised from the dead but who has conquered death itself.
