Lesson 5 - Faithful to the End

Acts 6:1-8:3. Stephen boldly preached the word of God to the Sanhedrin. Though he had the 'face of an angel' all they could think to do was silence his message. He was the first martyr of the early church and his death led to a great persecution of the believers in Jerusalem. As a result many were scattered throughout Judea and Samaria, but what was meant for evil, God used for great good!
