Discussion Guide for May 14, 2023
The Story
We will focus on Acts 6:1-7:54, the story of Stephen’s life, arrest, and murder.
Please read the passage and be familiar enough with the details that you
are able to tell the story without reading it. You do not have to retell the
sermon. You may recap it by saying something like, “God made a covenant
with the Israelites through Abraham, but like the ancient Israelites, the
Sanhedrin were resisting the Holy Spirit.”
