Acts 7 · Grade 3
Full of the Spirit
Read the Story
The high priest asked Stephen if the charges were true. Stephen told the story of God's people. God made a promise to Abraham. Joseph was sold into Egypt, but God was with him. God spoke to Moses from a flame in a bush and sent him to lead the people out.
Stephen said the people often turned away from those God sent. They made a calf and worshiped it. He said God does not live in houses made with hands. He told his hearers they always resisted the Holy Spirit.
The leaders were very angry. But Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, looked up into heaven. He saw the glory of God and Jesus standing at God's right hand (Acts 7:55).
They threw him out of the city and threw stones at him. The witnesses laid their coats at the feet of a young man named Saul. Stephen knelt and prayed for God not to hold this sin against them. Then he died.
