Called to Serve: How the Early Church Handled Growth and Conflict


Listen Later

In this sermon from Acts 6:1–7, we take an inside look at how the early church handled the blessings and challenges that came with rapid growth. As thousands came to faith, tensions rose—ethnic divisions surfaced, leadership was stretched thin, and real needs were being overlooked.

But rather than crumble under pressure, the early believers responded with Spirit-led wisdom, shared leadership, and a deep commitment to the gospel.

What does this mean for us today?

Join us as we explore what it means to be the Body of Christ—one body with many members—and how each of us is called to serve. Whether you're a seasoned leader or someone just exploring your gifts, this message will encourage you to step into your role in God’s mission.
