October 21 2007 – Audio Sermon on Acts 7:1–8 by Pastor William Hixson

Stephen begins his defense by recounting God’s call to Abraham and the promise of land and offspring The opening frames the gospel in the context of covenant history and divine promise. By situating the Christian message within Israel’s story, Stephen invites his hearers to see Jesus as the fulfillment of long-standing promises and to respond to God’s faithfulness with repentance and faith
