The Basic Training Challenge – The Church Then And NowUkázka

## Day 5 — Summary Execution ### Pray: Lord God, quiet my soul and open my mind and heart to receive Your Word. Amen. ### Read: Acts 7:1-60 ### Reflect Stephen was the first follower of Jesus to be executed for his beliefs. When Stephen was questioned by the high priest and Jewish leaders, he responded that Jesus was the Son of God. How did Stephen confront his accusers? What did God show Stephen before he was executed? What did Stephen pray before he died? How does my faith compare to Stephen’s? ### Respond Lord, bless me with the same boldness as Your disciple Stephen. Even though I endure tough times that challenge my faith, help me to remember that You will always protect me. Amen.
