About this Bible story

Stephen was one of the first Christian martyrs. He bravely spoke about Jesus, which upset many people. They decided to stone him for his faith. As he was being stoned, he prayed, 'Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.' (Acts 7:59).

β€œLord Jesus, receive my spirit.”

β€” Acts 7:59 (NIV)

How to Use These Coloring Pages

While kids color, ask them how they think Stephen felt when he was being stoned. Highlight his prayer, 'Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.' Use colored pencils or crayons for easy blending. After coloring, have a short discussion about standing up for faith.

More about these Bible coloring pages

While my 9-year-old colored the Stephen Stoning coloring page, she asked if Stephen was scared. I loved how this led to a conversation about bravery and faith. The pages feature six images, including Stephen praying to God and the crowd throwing stones. In one illustration, you can see him saying, 'Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.' (Acts 7:59) as he stood strong in his beliefs. Kids can learn about Stephen's faith while having fun with colors. We used markers, but crayons work just as well. The pages are simple enough for younger kids to enjoy, but they also spark meaningful discussions. This week, I plan to use them in our Sunday school class. I can already see the kids asking questions and connecting with Stephen's story!
