Acts 6:1-7:2a, 44-60 Stephen forgives and is martyred.
Jesus has risen and now it is our turn to live out God’s mission and ministry in this world, in this neighbourhood. The scripture reminds us of our call to lift up leaders from amongst ourselves. We are called to discern together and support the people that we deem called to serve. Too often, leaders are left to stand alone, to stand by their decisions, and are persecuted for their decisions. What can we learn from Stephen? What is worth following? What are we willing to give our lives up for?
