Sunday School lesson reviews Stephen’s bold defense before the Sanhedrin, his vision of heaven, and his martyrdom as Saul witnesses the act. The text highlights Acts 6 and 7 with the Apostles' growing church and the persecution by opponents.
The piece profiles Stephen a Greek Christian and early church deacon who dies after a heated debate in a Cyrenian synagogue. It contrasts Stephen’s preaching with church administration, notes Saul’s role in the argument, and describes the crowd turning violent as Stephen's temper erupts.
A column reflects on Saint Stephen’s martyrdom and its impact on Saul of Tarsus, who becomes Paul.

The piece hints at personal remorse Paul expressed later.
The speaker laments silent complicity in political corruption and civic betrayal. He notes crooked officials rise when the public abstains from voting, urges women’s suffrage to transform politics, and recalls Stephen’s murder as a call to active duty to oppose mob rule. The piece ends with a call to never again stand by and consent.
