Stephen, the First Martyr

As bodily danger increases in proclaiming Jesus Christ is Lord . . .

Do not fear legal action (6:8-7:1)
Begin with the things you have in common with your hearers (7:2-50)
Ask God to embolden your "witness" (7:51-60)

What should we say about Jesus? (51-53)
How will we remain courageous while risking our lives (54-60)
