God’s Life-Giving Word of DiscipleshipПример

  

January 27

Introduction

The number of disciples continues to grow, and seven apostolic assistants are chosen. Stephen, who was one of the seven, is falsely accused and arrested.

Today’s Key Scripture: Acts 6:15

All those sitting in the Council fixed their eyes on Stephen and saw that this face looked like the face of an angel.

Today’s Reading 

Acts 6:1-15

Reflect

What was the source of the quarrel among the believers and how was the matter resolved? Do disagreements take place within your community faith? If so, how are they resolved? How is Stephen described (verse 8)? Why did certain people oppose him? Do people today encounter opposition because of their faith? 

Pray

Almighty God, grant me a spirit of boldness to proclaim the Good News of your salvation. May the message of your love and grace continue to spread throughout the world. In the name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.
