Stephen Seized
Leader: 8 Now Stephen, a man full of God’s grace and power,
performed great wonders and signs among the people.
All: 9 Opposition arose, however, from members of the
Synagogue of the Freedmen (as it was called)—Jews of Cyrene and
Alexandria as well as the provinces of Cilicia and Asia—who
began to argue with Stephen.
Leader: 10 But they could not stand up against the wisdom the
Spirit gave him as he spoke.
All: 11 Then they secretly persuaded some men to say, “We
have heard Stephen speak blasphemous words against Moses and
against God.”
Leader: 12 So they stirred up the people and the elders and the
teachers of the law. They seized Stephen and brought him before
the Sanhedrin.
All: 13 They produced false witnesses, who testified, “This
fellow never stops speaking against this holy place and against
the law.
Leader: 14 For we have heard him say that this Jesus of
Nazareth will destroy this place and change the customs Moses
handed down to us.”
All: 15 All who were sitting in the Sanhedrin looked intently at
Stephen, and they saw that his face was like the face of an angel.

Old churches must not simply stand as monuments to the past but as spiritual grandparents that have invested in the future by passing on their life to others and releasing their offspring to form new congregations. ~ unknown
