"The God of Glory"

Stephen's speech is the longest recorded sermon in the book of Acts.  As he stands before the Sanhedrin, he provides them with a history lesson. Beginning with Abraham and the patriarchs, he shows how God's activity was never limited to Israel or the Temple.  They also have a pattern of rejecting their deliverers the first time. The patriarchs were moved with envy and rejected Joseph.  Joseph is seen as a type of Christ.
