Some question from our discussion on Acts 7 last Sunday night:

  1. v.40-42 - What do these verses tell us about the nature of man and worship?  Why does man often prefer self-made gods to the one true God?  What are some contemporary examples of this?
  2. Why is Stephen retelling the story of the Jews to the very Jewish authorities who already know it?  Why not just set the record straight about himself and what Jesus really said?
  3. How do people today miss the forest for the trees when it comes to God?  How about Christians sometimes?
  4. v.51 - What did Stephen mean when he told those of the Sanhedrin that their hearts and ears were uncircumcised?  (see v.53)
  5. Does Stephen’s reaction to their anger inspire you?  Scare you?  Why?
