Acts 6:1-4

1 In those days when the number of disciples was increasing, the Hellenistic Jews[a] among them complained against the Hebraic Jews because their widows were being overlooked in the daily distribution of food. 

2 So the Twelve gathered all the disciples together and said, “It would not be right for us to neglect the ministry of the word of God in order to wait on tables. 

3 Brothers and sisters, choose seven men from among you who are known to be full of the Spirit and wisdom. We will turn this responsibility over to them 

4 and will give our attention to prayer and the ministry of the word.”

Message Notes

We serve people in physical need with a full throttle of spiritual wisdom and power.

The true witness of the church is the self-sufficiency of Christ’s body.

With poor Church operations comes a poor witness to the world.
