On the one hand whether we believe in Christ is purely our own decision. However on the other hand, all those who have come to a real and genuine faith in Christ realize that God was very active in their environment leading up to the moment of their choosing Him. Join us as we continue to look at Peter’s word before the Sanhedrin in Acts 5:17-42.

Witness Lee examines the account in Acts 6:1-7 concerning the first real problems that appeared in the church life among the first Christians in Jerusalem. The murmuring between the Hellenist and Hebrews concerning their lack of care toward their widows exposes an issue that still had relevance to us today – that is of cultural and racial differences that occur in the church.
The martyrdom of Stephen and the great dispensational change from God’s Old Testament economy to His New Testament economy is the subject of today’s programme (Acts 7). Witness Lee expounds the transfer from the old dispensation of the law and the temple to the new dispensation, and considers how this dispensational change applies to us today.
On this Life-study programme we explore Stephen’s testimony and martyrdom in Acts 7. The significance of his beginning with the calling of the “God of glory” and concluding with the tabernacle of God is insightfully opened up. We will also see how the intense persecution against the church in Jerusalem issued in a prevailing spreading of the gospel.
