What can we learn from Stephen’s example as a deacon?

Answered in 1 source

Stephen exemplifies faithfulness and boldness in service, demonstrating evangelistic zeal and reliance on the Holy Spirit.

Stephen, recognized as a man full of faith and the Holy Spirit, serves as an excellent model for all Christians, especially those in leadership roles like deacons. His ability to perform wonders and signs and his unwavering conviction in the face of opposition reflect a deep reliance on God and His Word. Moreover, his ultimate sacrifice for the faith showcases the reality that true service often involves cost, embodying Christ's call to take up our cross (Matthew 16:24). Through Stephen, we learn that a life of service grounded in faith is both a powerful witness to the gospel and a means by which God works mightily through His people.
