Everything Begins with a Seed Part 2 - Sun 6/16/24 by OneLifeOK
In Acts 7:54-8:3, Stephen becomes the first martyr of the Christian church. Enraged by his message, the religious leaders of Israel stone him and widespread persecution sweeps through the infant church. Yet, in the darkness of these moments, light breaks through clouds. This text shines the first light of Scripture on Saul (who later becomes Paul) and the church is said to scatter – taking with it the good news of the gospel. As we look at part two of this account of Stephen's life and death, we will focus our attention first on The Stoning of a Messenger, and second, The Seed a Martyr.
The flow of thought that begins in Acts 6:8 stretches all the way to 8:3. It describes a disciple named Steven, records the sermon he delivered to a hostile Jewish council, chronicles his martyrdom, and concludes with the mention of Saul of Tarsus. This epic contains all the characteristics of one remarkable story. That being the case, we will spend the next two weeks exploring, “A Servant, A Sermon, A Stone, and a Seed.” This morning we will just focus on the first two parts under these headings: 1. A Servant of Jesus Christ, and 2. A Sermon on Jesus Christ. For all who are able, would you stand with me as we read Acts 6:8-15.

Who is the one who snatches away the seed for the first soil. What does that tell us about who they belong to?4. What does it mean when it says that they believed for a short while for the second soil. What does it mean for them to have believed then to fall away? Are they saved but not bearing fruit? Or did they lose their salvation?
1. What is the context in which the parable of the sower was given? Who was it given to and why?2. What does the seed represent according to verse 11?3. Who is the seed planter?4. Why did Jesus speak to them in parables according to verses 9 and 10?
