Daily Bible Reading, January 2023 - God’s Saving Word: Unity in Christ JesusPrøve

January 28 Introduction The number of disciples continues to grow, and seven apostolic assistants are chosen. Stephen, one of the seven, is falsely accused and arrested. Scripture Reading Acts 6:1-15 Today’s Scripture: Acts 6:15 All those sitting in the Council fixed their eyes on Stephen and saw that his face looked like the face of an angel. Reflect What was the source of the quarrel among the believers and how was the matter resolved (verses 1-7)? 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? In what ways 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. Tomorrow’s Reading Acts 7:1-22: Stephen defends himself before the Council.
