The Early Church (Level 2 | 44)

Bible Literacy Foundation Season 2 Episode 54

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.
