The Early Church & The First Martyr (Level 2 | 44)

Bible Literacy Foundation Season 3 Episode 232

NOTICE: All existing episodes will be moved to Season 1 on December 20.

The Apostles lead the rapidly growing Church and perform miraculous signs. They face persecution from the religious leaders but they steadfastly resolve to obey God. Despite these challenges, the Church continues to grow, with even some priests join the faith. Soon Stephen, a servant appointed by the apostles, becomes the first martyr of the Church. His boldness in confronting the religious leaders leads to his stoning and death.

Readings: Acts 6, Acts 7
