Why did a great persecution arise following Stephen's death? Pastor leads his family in today's "Hopewell @Home" passage. Acts 8:1–8 looks forward to the morning sermon on the coming Lord's Day. In these eight verses of Holy Scripture, the Holy Spirit teaches us that in this age God is overruling even (and especially) persecution to spread the gospel with saving power and divine joy.
