Death of a Faithful Martyr

In the previous chapter the Hebrew Sanhedrin had attempted to silence the preachers of God's grace and to eradicate the name of Jesus from their people. They had jailed, mocked, beaten, and persecuted the early believers with confidence that the early church would be wiped out from the face of the earth but they were WRONG! We look today at the death of the first martyr of the church, Stephen the disciple.
