Stephen On Trial

Reader: Marios Kyriakou Preacher: Jonathan Smith You might have heard people say, “As soon as I became a Christian, life got much harder.” This is often true, and never more so than for Stephen. He became a Christian at Pentecost, was put in charge of the mercy ministry (in last week’s passage), put up on trial for blasphemy, and (in next week’s passage) will be put to death for following Jesus. This Sunday’s passage focusses on the charges levelled at him and his brilliant defence of the truth of the gospel. Red Door is an Anglican Church in Melbourne, Australia.
