Transformers - Stephen: The First Martyr

This week Pastor Henry shares a message focusing on the transformation of Stephen. There must be an importance of trust and action in our relationship with God. There was a personal transformation, faith, and unity within the church. Stephen had unwavering faith even in the face of persecution. Be encouraged today to trust and follow this example, and be reminded that faith involves more than just belief—it requires commitment and action.  

 

Then they cast him out of the city and stoned him. And the witnesses laid down their garments at the feet of a young man named Saul.  And as they were stoning Stephen, he called out, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.”  And falling to his knees he cried out with a loud voice, “Lord, do not hold this sin against them.” And when he had said this, he fell asleep. - Acts 7:58-60 (ESV)
