Acts 20: A Calling that Kills Us (Acts 7:54-60)

We finish Stephen’s story of his trial in front of the religious leaders this week by seeing the outcome of his confrontation: death. When Stephen defends his position to the Jewish Ruling Council he does it by retracing the Jewish heritage and history to the people who thought they knew it the best. Stephen tells their history in a way that would have been unfamiliar to those who thought they knew the story. He tells the story through a lens that shows God sending prophet after prophet and God’s people rejecting those prophets. Stephen’s critique is a rejection of their power and that they are missing the true prophet right in their midst, Jesus.

There are so many pieces to this that it will take us a few weeks to get through...we will put it together, as they say, “piece by piece.” Today we will look at a guy named Saul of Tarsus, who later becomes the Apostle Paul.
