As we continue our study in the book of Acts, we'll see how Stephen endured the accusations made against him, offered rebuttals, and dismantled the Israelites' misplaced confidence, yet ultimately suffered, which God (in His sovereignty) used to push the Gospel out among the nations.

Gospel movements need godly leadership to sustain mission. Pastor Jeremy Treat continues our series through Acts with a sermon from Acts 6:1-7.

Imagine what would happen if a crisis arose somewhere in the world, and the president's advisors couldn't find him because he was vacuuming the carpets in the dining room! That wouldn't happen because the authority to clean carpets has been delegated to someone else. In the church, delegation of authority is important as well. the pastor cannot do everything!

We are to be and to make disciples, followers of Christ, not just students. As problems arose within the church, we learn not to murmur and that the church grows and makes disciples through the ministry of the Word of God.

As we enter Acts 6, we see that the church needs to pause. We see the first official complaint against the church. From the beginning, the church was not perfect. But God used broken people to reconcile people to Himself. And that is still what God is doing today.

This morning Bekah was speaking on Acts 6:1-7, and we thought about the apostles' priorities and purpose as they responded to challenges within the early church. The post Acts 6:1-7 – The word of God spreads appeared first on Elmdon Church, Solihull.

As we've seen, the book of Acts was written by Luke, and it tells us about the working of God through the Word of God in the hearts of the people of God. And there were many challenges as the church begins - among them, some widows being neglected. This resulted in some hurt feelings and the need for the Apostles to deal with the problem in a straight forward manner, while keeping their own priorities in line.

What is the ministry of the word? What is the meaning of Acts 6:4? Why was it important for the apostles to focus on the ministry of the word?

God grants us grace and the Holy Spirit to stand firm in the face of opposition to the gospel. We can face God's enemies even when they: I. Disagree with Christ's Teaching II. Designate False Witnesses III. Determine to Silence the Gospel.

Listen along as we continue through the book of Acts. Notes//Quotes: Acts 6:1-15 - Sawyer Title: Growing Pains   “Success, while desirable, can paradoxically create new challenges. This can manifest as increased pressure, difficulty managing growth, and strained relationships with those who haven't achieved the same level of success. Understanding these potential downsides is crucial for navigating the complexities of success and maintaining long-term well-being.”  - Google AI   “The devil's next attack was the cleverest of the three. Having failed to overcome the church by either persecution or corruption, he now tried distraction. If he could preoccupy the apostles with social administration, which though essential was not their calling, they would neglect their God-given responsibilities to pray and to preach, and so leave the church without any defense against false doctrine.”  - John Stott   “Those who love their dream of a Christian community more than they love the Christian community itself become destroyers of that Christian community.” - Dietrich Bonhoeffer   “One of the apologetics against the church is that the rhetoric often doesn't live up to the reality.” - Leo Schuester   1-4 If you've gotten anything at all out of following Christ, if his love has made any difference in your life, if being in a community of the Spirit means anything to you, if you have a heart, if you care—then do me a favor: Agree with each other, love each other, be deep-spirited friends. Don't push your way to the front; don't sweet-talk your way to the top. Put yourself aside, and help others get ahead. Don't be obsessed with getting your own advantage. Forget yourselves long enough to lend a helping hand.   5-8 Think of yourselves the way Christ Jesus thought of himself. He had equal status with God but didn't think so much of himself that he had to cling to the advantages of that status no matter what. Not at all. When the time came, he set aside the privileges of deity and took on the status of a slave, became human! Having become human, he stayed human. It was an incredibly humbling process. He didn't claim special privileges. Instead, he lived a selfless, obedient life and then died a selfless, obedient death—and the worst kind of death at that—a crucifixion. (Philippians 2:1-8 The Message)   Questions: 1. Do I love the community or my dream of the community?   2. Have I experienced hurt in the community?   3. Who actually is the architect of my dream community?   

Acts 6:8-15 - "Stephen"  Pastor Wes Holland, preaching

Sam speaks on Acts 6 at our 6pm gathering. He talks about Stephen's simple call from God and the way God used him beyond his wildest expectations. He asks us to consider, how does God want to use each of us?

We, Christians, were given a very clear command to share the gospel. Now, that doesn't mean that if we fail to do so, maybe we get scared to speak up, or feel it's the “wrong time”, God's will will still be done. He doesn't need you to do anything, but He wants YOU to share about what He has done!!! In today's message, Pastor Mark will encourage you to be bold and courageous about sharing the gospel! Don't sit back and wait for someone else to speak up, you have an opportunity TODAY, RIGHT NOW, to go share about the wonders of Jesus Christ and what He has done for you personally!

Psalms - Protestation of Integrity and Prayer for Protection, God Sustains His Servant, Prayer for the Punishment of the Wicked, Confidence in God's Protection, God Alone a Refuge from Treachery and Oppression, Prayer for Deliverance from Secret Enemies.Acts - Choosing of the Seven

05 Deuteronomy 6-7; 20 Proverbs 26-27; 44 Acts 6

What the apostles of Yeshua decided to do was based off of what prophet Moses did back in his day. The leaders in a community should always carry righteous qualities and characteristics, in order to set a good example for everyone following. 

Sharing about your faith in God can be very daunting. A lot of people struggle with having the courage to speak about God…maybe that's you, maybe you feel uncomfortable sharing your faith; remember that you're not alone in that difficulty, most Christians face this at least once in their walk with the Lord. In today's message, Pastor Mark will give you some pointers on how “easy” it can be to share about God! He will also remind you that, when you're afraid about what to say, God will give you the words. The Lord isn't just going to leave you stumbling over your words; He will give you the clarity to speak and the words to change lives!

Big Idea: When God-given means become self-exalting ends, faithful men become martyrs. 1. (6.8-15) Stephen accused: You want to destroy the temple and change the law 2. (7:1-53) Stephen's defense: God is never confined, you resist his spirit  3. (7:54-60) Stephen's Sentence: Public Stoning in false Zeal because of true testimony Discussion Questions: 1. What practices or “good things” in our church life today are in danger of slipping from means to ends, and how can we guard against that shift? 2. Stephen charges the council with always resisting the Spirit (7:51). What are practical signs that we might be resisting the Spirit's leading in our own lives? 3. Saul watched Stephen die and later became Paul. How does this long-range impact of Stephen's witness encourage us when our own faithfulness seems fruitless or costly? Share examples where perseverance eventually bore unexpected fruit.

The church grew in such an exponential way that there arose practical concerns and needs amongst the people in Jerusalem. The Apostles saw fit to establish what we now call Deacons to serve the most vulnerable among the Christian church. These servants become a means of the LORD's provision for His people. I. The Problem II. The Solution III. The Effect

CrossRoads Church Making and maturing disciples together as a family

We live in a world obsessed with “finding oneself”, as if purpose is a buried treasure you stumble across on a map. But what if purpose is more like a person you walk with, not a destination you arrive at? In this sermon, pastor Armando explores two groups of people in Acts 5, those who risk doing too much and those who need an opportunity. But what if the thing that makes us most defensive… is actually the thing God wants to use to make us most free?”Topic:  Sharing testimony | Spiritual refreshing | Discipleship | Acts | early church | Life changeMain Scripture:  Acts 6Support the show ------------------------------------------WANT MORE?Say You Love Me 1: Building Healthy RelationshipsToxic 1: What are Toxic Thoughts?
