Guys, we are at the tail end of Acts chapter seven. Stephen the deacon uh is it safe to say like the

the best deacon that ever was like the bar the bar was set early and this is like a record that

will not ever be broken dude Stephen is doing his best chad bird impression uh of all that's right

yeah he just like schools this crowd of religious leaders in the old is doing his best Chad Bird impression of all. That's all. That's right. Yeah.

He just like schools this crowd of religious leaders in the Old Testament and showing how it all points to Christ.

I mean, it's pretty impressive.

Yeah.

So he gets arrested and says, let me give you a little speech here.

And I'm going to let me just explain your entire history through the lens of Christ to you. And, uh, and he does all this

speech. He does, uh, you know, 53 verses of it. He ends by telling them that they're a stiff-necked

people, that they're uncircumcised in heart and ears, and that they always, not sometimes, not most

times, but that they always resist the

Holy Spirit, just like their fathers did. He has asked a question, I'd love to know which of the

prophets you fought your fathers didn't persecute. That's a, I'd be a much shorter list than the

ones they did. So if you could give me that list, I'd like to have it. And they killed the people that announced the coming of the righteous one.
