UNSTOPPABLE POWER!
The early church began with a handful of disciples who within a few years “turned the world upside down” with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. How did they do it? In his new series on the book of Acts, Dr. Robert Jeffress will help you harness the same, extraordinary power of the Holy Spirit that allowed the early church to become an “Unstoppable Power” for God
Introduction: Today, we begin our study of the book of Acts that records the supernatural birth
and growth of the church of Jesus Christ.

THE FIRST CHRISTIAN MARTYR Acts 6:8-8:1
Opposition to the gospel of Jesus Christ is at times subtle, while at other times opposition is blatant as illustrated in today’s passage. Acts 7 records the death of the first Christian in history and provides a model for how Christians should respond to the inevitable attacks from unbelievers.

Today, we are going to discover how God used this ordinary Christian in an extraordinary way to be the first person to take the gospel beyond the city limits of Jerusalem.

PERSECUTION, PRISON, AND PRAYER
