Stephen, the first martyr - Audio

When people serve well as deacons, they become bold for the gospel. This is evidenced by Stephen, who had great boldness with signs and wonders. The Jews opposed him and he gave them a history lesson about how the God of grace had worked with and for them throughout history, but still, the Jews were stiff-necked people, full of idolatry and hypocrisy. When he rightly said they killed Jesus, they became furious and stoned him. Saul, later Paul, assented to his death.
