Brian O’Neal reintroduces himself to North Shore and reflects on his growing involvement with the church, setting the stage for a sermon on Acts 8:1–8. He explains how Stephen’s martyrdom, approved by Saul, sparked a wave of persecution that scattered the early church and unexpectedly spread the gospel. O’Neal emphasizes that this story is not just historical but deeply connected to the church’s ongoing mission today.
