Acts 7: I see the heavens opened

Read Acts 7:1-60 before you meet.

In a few lines

Stephen's first words are of "The God of glory" (7:2), and at the end he "saw the glory of God" (7:55): in Acts's Greek, one noun. All through his story he says "our fathers", until "As your fathers did, so you do" (7:51).

The verse to carry

“and said, “Behold, I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God!””

Acts 7:56

To talk about

  1. 1. Stephen tells God's story from Abraham to Solomon (7:2-47). If you told the story of what God has done in your life, where would you begin?

  2. 2. Stephen "looked up steadfastly into heaven and saw the glory of God" (7:55). What helps you look up to God when things around you are hard?

  3. 3. At the very end Stephen called out, "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit!" (7:59). What does it mean to you that he spoke to Jesus by name then?
