READ
Acts 6:1-7
CONSIDER
Read all of this week's passage, and consider the following questions.
-
- In Acts 6, what was the problem that surfaced, and why was it a significant concern for the early church community?
- How does the way the early church addressed this need remind you of the kinds of things FBG tries to pay attention to as we grow and care for people?
- The apostles protected their time for prayer and the ministry of the word. In your own life, what helps you stay focused on the things God is calling you to prioritize right now?
- The seven were chosen for their character and spiritual maturity. As you think about serving at FBG, what qualities from this passage do you most want God to form more deeply in you?
- The church responded with unity. Where have you experienced or witnessed unity at FBG that encouraged you or helped you feel more connected?
- When the church met practical needs, the gospel advanced. Where do you see opportunities for FBG to continue meeting needs in a way that helps people encounter Jesus more clearly, both inside and outside our church family?
Lord, thank You for showing us in Acts 6 how Your church cares for both the word and for people. Open our eyes to see the needs around us and give us hearts that respond with wisdom, grace, and unity. Grow in us the character and Spirit-filled maturity we see in the seven, so that our lives reflect Your love. Draw our hearts to serve Your kingdom with joy and faithfulness, not for our own recognition but for the glory of God and the good of Your church. Amen.
