Acts 6:8-15

Listen to Acts 6:8-15

8 And Stephen, full of grace and power, did great wonders and signs among the people.

9 But some of those who were of the Synagogue named that of the Libertines, and some of the men of Cyrene and of Alexandria and those from Cilicia and Asia, had arguments with Stephen.

10 But they were not able to get the better of him, for his words were full of wisdom and of the Spirit.

11 Then they got men to say, He has said evil against Moses and against God, in our hearing.

12 And the people, with the rulers and the scribes, were moved against him, and they came and took him before the Sanhedrin,

13 And they got false witnesses who said, This man is for ever saying things against this holy place and against the law:

14 For he has said in our hearing that this Jesus of Nazareth will put this place to destruction and make changes in the rules which were handed down to us by Moses.

15 And all those who were in the Sanhedrin, looking at him, saw that his face was like the face of an angel.

The Apostle Stephen preached with such conviction, the people were not able to resist his wisdom. Stephen didn’t try to promote the church, he lived it, even when there were those who falsely accused him of blasphemy.

The Witnessing Church - 1A

Jack Hibbs

We are God’s witnesses, even when we don’t speak. Stephen, in the Book of Acts, was a man full of persuasive faith and power. But, he was promoted by God, because he was ready for anything, including manual labor. Stephen’s ministry was often done without saying a word.
