Description
In Acts chapters 6 and 7, we hear the remarkable story of Stephen, a brave man chosen as a deacon to help the rapidly growing church. Stephen not only assisted the needy but also preached the good news of Jesus, which angered a group called the Freedmen. Despite facing false accusations and hostility, Stephen boldly recounted God's promises and the arrival of Jesus, ultimately leading to his martyrdom. This tragic event highlights the paradox of how God's kingdom grows through suffering and sacrifice.
