In Acts 6–7, Pastor Jake Myers shows how Stephen, a faithful church member serving in food services, became the first Christian martyr and helped launch the gospel beyond Jerusalem to the rest of the world. Stephen's bold sermon before the Sanhedrin revealed two revolutionary truths: God works outside of Israel, and His presence is no longer confined to the temple. Just as Stephen forgave those who stoned him, we are called to be faithful where God has placed us, forgive those who have wronged us, and share the message of forgiveness with those around us.
