Then, in chapter 7, he describes Stephen's defense against false accusations being brought against him. In this section, Stephen turns the tables on the Jewish leaders and accuses them of being the ones who are truly rejecting God and His Spirit. After he is martyred, we are introduced to man named Saul and a great persecution against the early church forces the believers to scatter to surrounding areas of Judea and Samaria. Pastor Nate finishes the teaching by pointing out that what the enemy intended for evil, God used for good and the result was the spreading of the good news about Jesus to the whole earth.
