While coloring, ask your kids what they think it means to forgive others, just like Stephen did. Highlight the moment he prayed for his enemies in Acts 7:60. Use colored pencils or crayons, and consider having a follow-up discussion about being brave in their own lives.

More about these Bible coloring pages

During our Bible study last week, my 7-year-old asked why Stephen prayed for those who hurt him. It prompted a beautiful discussion about forgiveness! The Stephen the First Martyr coloring pages show him preaching, being taken away, and his prayer, 'Lord, do not hold this sin against them' (Acts 7:60). Each of the 6 images highlights different moments from his life, making it easier for kids to connect with the story. We used colored pencils, and my kids enjoyed bringing these scenes to life. I love how these pages can spark conversations about courage and kindness in tough situations. They’re free printables, so I can easily share them with our Sunday school class or use them at home during quiet time. The kids really engage with the art while learning Bible lessons, and it's a blessing to see them grow in faith.
