Hello friends we are back arent you exited to be holy we are
She is going to tell us another new story from the bible
Welcome kids i have already decided which story to tell you today
so are you all ready so todays story is about Stephen getting stoned
But who's Stephan lets read the story and find out
Stephan is one of the youngest believers of the church
and the holy spirit filled him with gods power love and grace
and helped him to do some amazing miracles.
But one day some men got in a debate with him
non of them can match up with Stephans wisdom
Because his came from the holy spirit
This made the men very angry. So they gathered a few other men
and convinced them to tell lies about Stephan. So he could be arrested
They lied they have heard he had said bad things about moses
and even god the religious leaders where very upset when they heard this
They got Stephan arrested and bought before the high council for trial
the men who have lied about stephan told more lies
They said we heard them say that Jesus is going to destroy the temple
And change all the custom Moses taught us
Suddenly all of them in the high council turned watching Stephans face glow
As bright as the sun the high priest then asked stephan was the charges against him true.
Stephan replied My brothers remember that God appeared to father Abraham
and told him to leave his home and move to a land which have made for him
Abraham obeyed god and he promised to give the land and many ansistors
god gave him sir Issac and Issac's son Jacob and became the 12 tribes of Israel
Do you remember how 11 of these sons who where jealous of their brother Joseph
and they sold him to slavery but god allowed joseph to save the nation of Egypt
and even his own family from famine you must also remember
There are people became slaves in Egypt and that moses was born
God send him to set the people for freedom and gave the laws and commandments by which we live
it was moses who told the people that god will race a prophet
People turned to moses and Aron made a golden calf for them to worship
Then god turned away from people it was years later that Joshua led the people
to King David the man who found favour with god. Davids son solomon
build gods temple and now you stuborn people you know our peoples history of god
as your ancestors prosecuted the prophets you killed jesus
Gods ow son the religious leaders where angry by things stephan said they shoked their fist
and shouted at him
Then god gave Stephan a vision of gates of heaven opening and jesus standing before him
stephan was not afraind of what people said to him
The people Dragged Stephan out of the city and threw stones at him till he was dead
As he was dieing he preyed for the people who hurt him and killed him
he looked up and said Lord dont charge then with the sin and he died
Ooh it was a nice story . Now its time for the question who was Stephan.
i know he was the strong believer of the young church and he was filled with holy spirit
thats correct hope you like the story too.
