Acts 6:8-15
01
Man of Grace and Power
Acts 6:8
Now Stephen, a man full
of God’s grace and power, performed great wonders and signs among the
people.
02
Man of the Word of God
Acts 6:9-10
Opposition arose,
however, from members of the Synagogue of the Freedmen (as it was called)—Jews
of Cyrene and Alexandria as well as the provinces of Cilicia and Asia
—who began
to argue with Stephen.
But they could not stand up against the wisdom the
Spirit gave him as he spoke.
03
Man of Christlikeness
Acts 6:59-60
While they were
stoning him, Stephen prayed, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.”
Then he fell on his knees and cried out, “Lord,
do not hold this sin against them.”
When he had said this, he fell asleep.
Applying the Word
1. Imagine you are at Stephen’s funeral and you
are giving the eulogy.
How would you say that his life has inspired you?
2. “It was easier for the believers back then to
be committed to Jesus than believers today”. What do you think of this
statement? Explain your answer.
3. Read Luke 22:39-43. Should there be room for
personal preference (if any at all)
in terms of obeying God’s call and His
Word?
