Discipleship and Delegation

In this powerful exploration of Acts 6:1-7, we're reminded of the vital importance of God's Word in the life of the church. The early church faced a challenge that threatened to distract from their primary mission - the ministry of the Word. This passage teaches us that while practical needs are important, they should never overshadow our commitment to Scripture. We learn that a thriving church balances meeting physical needs with spiritual nourishment, always keeping the Word central. As we reflect on this, we might ask ourselves: Are we prioritizing God's Word in our own lives and in our church community? Are we allowing ourselves to be distracted by lesser things? This message challenges us to recommit to the power and primacy of Scripture, recognizing that it's through the Word that we truly encounter the living Christ and grow in our faith.
