Stephen's Persevering Witness

This morning I want to show you the progression of Stephen’s perseverance in his witness to Christ. For he was faithful to endure to the end, and I pray that each Christian here will have the grace and wisdom from the Spirit to do the same. Let me show you now, the progression of Stephen’s perseverance. 1st of all – He persevered in showing his listeners their awful condition in their unsaved state. 2nd – He persevered in showing them their guiltiness in not keeping God’s holy law. 3rd – He persevered in looking to Christ until his faith became sight. And 4th – He persevered in prayer, both for himself, and for his enemies. As we listen to this message, let us pray to be able to persevere in our own witness to Christ in regard to all the people around us who so desperately need Him.
