November 18 2007 – Audio Sermon on Acts 7:51–60 by Pastor William Hixson
Stephen confronts the council with Israel’s history and is met with violent rejection His speech and death illustrate the pattern of prophetic rejection and the cost of faithful proclamation. The passage traces the continuity of God’s work through Israel, exposes the people’s resistance to God’s messengers, and models how truth can provoke hostility. It also challenges listeners to examine their own responses to God’s word, to value prophetic accountability, and to find courage in the face of opposition
