Digest

Answer from what the passage actually says — stay in the text.

  1. What does this show me about God?

    • Stephen sees Jesus standing up, and then prays Jesus' own prayer. What does God do for people in the worst moment?
  2. What does it show me about people — and about me?

    • Stephen learned forgiving from watching Jesus. Who are you learning it from?
  3. What will I obey this week?

    • Who has hurt you that you will pray for by name this week?
  4. Who will I tell?

    • Who needs to hear how Stephen died? When will you tell them?

Grow

Growth is God's part, not yours. Do the cycle faithfully and trust Him to give the growth (1 Corinthians 3:6–7).

Pray

God, Stephen died the way Jesus did — asking you not to hold it against them. Make me like that, a little at a time.
