1.  Stephen gives us an amazing example.

            ●  Growing
            ●  Giving

2.  Stephen's life shows us that we may attract enemies.
     A.  They will often be close to us
     B.  They will not like the change in us
     C.  They will not like the challenges we bring

2.  Stephen gives us an attitude to emulate.

     B.  We don't need to respond to false accusations
            ●  When we realize that we have been accepted
                in Christ
            ●  When we have been about the task God has
                for us  
     C. We can find peace in knowing that He will
         accomplish His purpose
