When fear stares you in the face, what do you do?
Stephen-the first martyr of the church-shows us what unshakable faith really looks like. As stones were raised against him, he lifted his eyes and saw Jesus standing at the right hand of God. In that moment, fear lost and faith won.
In this episode, we step inside Acts 6–7 and walk withStephen through the clash between fear and faith. We’ll see what it means to stand firm when the world throws stones, why Jesus stood for Stephen, and how the same power that filled him can fill us today.
From the courtroom to the crowd, from fear’s grip toheaven’s glory, this is more than a story of martyrdom-it’s a revelation of courage, vision, and victory through Christ.
Scripture Focus: Acts 6–7
Theme: Fear vs. Faith - The Standing Savior
Key Verse: Acts 7:55 – “But Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, gazed intoheaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God.”
