Acts 8:1-3 (NASB)

1 Saul was in hearty agreement with putting him to death. And on that day a great persecution began against the church in Jerusalem, and they were all scattered throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles. 2 Some devout men buried Stephen, and made loud lamentation over him. 3 But Saul began ravaging the church, entering house after house, and dragging off men and women, he would put them in prison.

Sermon Theme/Outline: Three ways which persecution can have a positive impact upon the church

1) It promotes the spreading of the Gospel (8:1a-b, 3)
2) It proves the fortitude of the leaders (8:1c)
3) It purifies the church (8:2-3)
