Acts: Struck Down, But Not Destroyed

Stephen’s death in Acts 7 sparks the first great wave of persecution against the

early church. What looks like defeat becomes the very means God uses to spread

the gospel beyond Jerusalem as believers scatter and carry the good news

wherever they go. In this passage we see the danger of misplaced religious zeal,

the sovereignty of God in times of disruption, and the power of the Holy Spirit to

continue Christ’s mission through ordinary believers. Even when the church is

struck down, the risen King ensures that His mission moves forward
