In this message, Pastor Luke walks through the story of Stephen in Acts 6:8–8:2 — the church's first martyr — and what his bold witness reveals about being fully surrendered to Jesus. Stephen's courageous testimony before the Sanhedrin and his death by stoning challenged the early church to trust that God uses sacrifice and suffering to scatter the Gospel like seed into the world.
Acts 6:8–8:2 | additional: John 15:18-21, John 12:24-25, Romans 8:17-18
