Acts 7:54-60 - Seeing the Glory of God Through Persecution

Part 18 in the Acts sermon series.
After Stephen is brought before the Sanhedrin for preaching about Jesus, he makes his defense, reviewing the history of the Jews and comparing their idolatrous acts to the actions of the current religious leaders. After hearing their charges, the members of the Sanhedrin were furious. Then, Stephen spoke of a vision he saw there in their presence - something which was given him by the Holy Spirit and sustained him through the horrifying ordeal to come.
