Acts 6 : upto 15

Welcome to the living word of God if we read in acts chapter 6 we find that Stephen and seven six others were chosen to serve at the table to serve the people they were men of reputation man of wisdom and men full of the holy spirit but as they were serving God and you the fellow believers it says in verse 9 that there arose some from what is called the synagogue of freedman they were again stiffened but they could not find fault in him verse 10 and they were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit by which he spoke o brothers and sisters when people are against you do they find hidden bones hidden stories or do they find no fold in you but they can only marvel at the spirit and the wisdom that you have because you are filled with the spirit of God and so what did they do because they were so determined to bring him down to get rid of him they secretly induced man to be against him oh brothers and sisters are you being induced are you being brought in to falsely accuse your brethren be careful do not be induced with the worldly material things with false promises by evil people to bring down good people remember the word of Gamalia you might be opposing and fighting against God they also brought in false witnesses oh brothers and sisters are we breaking one of the commandments bearing false witness against our neighbors knowing that it is not true but we do speak words seemingly and presenting it as if it is true are we bearing false witness against our neighbors our brothers and sisters just to bring them down and so they caught him they got Stephen and brought them him into the council but I want to read for you verse 15 and all who said in the council looking steadfastly at him saw his face as the face of angel brothers and sisters are we so faithful so filled with the spirit that when others look at us they see the face of angel may that be our experience . Amen
