On Sunday, February 2, 2025, at Wildwood Community Church, I preached a sermon based on Acts 6:1-7. This message was part 5 of the “Deep + Wide” sermon series. Below you will find questions related to the message for personal reflection or group discussion. You will also find audio and video from the message to listen to/watch, download or share.
Sermon Questions:
- Pray
- Read Acts 6:1-7
- What are some examples you have experienced in life of challenges as things that you are a part of have grown (family, work, church, etc.)?
- In Acts 6:1-2, we see the first church in Jerusalem experience challenges as it has grown: the ball was dropped in the care for the Hellenist widows. Have you ever seen or experienced this first hand inside a growing church? What happened?
- The apostles were committed to their apostolic duty, but also understood that the needs were real and needed to be provided for. Their solution was to mobilize a new set of leaders to attend to THAT task, so that the apostles could continue in their task. Together, the 12 and the 7 could do the ministry the Lord had for them. Have you ever seen leadership teams grow to address needs inside a growing church?
- How has the Lord gifted YOU for ministry? What are ways the Lord might be preparing YOU to be the answer to some of the needs of a growing church?
