Friday: Further Thought – The First Church Leaders

Sabbath School Net Posted on July 26, 2018 by Sabbath School LessonAugust 1, 2018avatar
Spectacles on Bible

Further Study: “The persecution that came upon the church in Jerusalem resulted in giving a great impetus to the work of the gospel. Success had attended the ministry of the word in that place, and there was danger that the disciples would linger there too long, unmindful of the Saviour’s commission to go to all the … Continue reading –>

Thursday: The Spread of the Gospel

Sabbath School Net Posted on July 25, 2018 by Sabbath School LessonJuly 29, 2018avatar
The Gospel Spread after AD34

The triumph over Stephen ignited a massive persecution against the believers in Jerusalem, no doubt instigated by the same group of opponents. The leader of the group was Saul, who caused no small damage to the church (Acts 8:3, Acts 26:10). The persecution, however, was turned to good effect. Indeed, scattered throughout Judea and Samaria, the believers … Continue reading –>

Wednesday: Jesus in the Heavenly Court

Sabbath School Net Posted on July 24, 2018 by Sabbath School LessonJuly 29, 2018avatar
Jesus the High Priest Interceding

Since by definition a prophet (in Hebrew, na?î) is someone who speaks for God, Stephen became a prophet the very moment he brought God’s rî? against Israel. His prophetic ministry, however, was rather short. Read Acts 7:55-56. What was the meaning of Stephen’s vision? “When Stephen reached this point, there was a tumult among the people. When he connected … Continue reading –>

Tuesday: Before the Sanhedrin

Sabbath School Net Posted on July 23, 2018 by Sabbath School LessonAugust 6, 2018avatar
Before the Sanhedrin

Read Acts 7:1-53. What was Stephen saying to his accusers? The charges raised against Stephen led to his arrest and trial by the Sanhedrin. According to Jewish tradition, the law and the temple services were two of the three pillars upon which the world rests—the last being good works. The mere insinuation that the Mosaic ceremonies … Continue reading –>

Monday: Stephen’s Ministry

Sabbath School Net Posted on July 22, 2018 by Sabbath School LessonJuly 28, 2018avatar
Stephen Preaching

After their appointment, the Seven engaged not only in church ministry but also in effective witnessing. The result was that the gospel continued to spread, and the number of believers kept increasing (Acts 6:7). This growth started, of course, to bring opposition to the early church. The narrative then focuses on Stephen, a man of rare … Continue reading –>

Sunday: The Appointment of the Seven

Sabbath School Net Posted on July 21, 2018 by Sabbath School LessonJuly 25, 2018avatar
The Appointment of the Seven

Read Acts 6:1. What was the complaint of the Hellenistic believers? “The cause of complaint was an alleged neglect of the Greek widows in the daily distribution of assistance. Any inequality would have been contrary to the spirit of the gospel, yet Satan had succeeded in arousing suspicion. Prompt measures must now be taken to remove … Continue reading –>

Read for This Week’s Study: Acts 6-7, Acts 7:48, Heb. 5:11-14, Micah 6:1-16, Acts 8:4-25. Memory Text: “The word of God continued to spread; the number of the disciples increased greatly in Jerusalem, and a great many of the priests became obedient to the faith” (Acts 6:7, NRSV). Many converts at Pentecost were Hellenistic Jews, that is, Jews from the Greco-Roman world … Continue reading –>
