Mike Foster- Caring for the Community- Acts 6

Today we look at how the Early Church cared for those in their community. A group was being overlooked and not cared for, and accidental injustice occurred that needed to be fixed. If they didn’t resolve the issue, it would have destroyed the church’s effectiveness at sharing the message of Jesus. Often, we face similar situations. Times when injustice is perpetrated on others. How do we respond in love and care for the marginalized and less fortunate? How do we show mercy to the broken and seek to right the wrongs we see around us? The Early Church was proactive to care for those around them, and it helped the church grow and gain influence with those around them.

Mike Foster- Under Threat- Acts 4

Today we discuss the power of prayer. How often do we take matters into our own hands or simply rely on instinct? The Early Church, when presented with opposition, didn’t fight fire with fire, they went to their knees in prayer. In prayer, they found the wisdom and boldness needed to fulfill the mission of Jesus. What can we learn from the Early Church when we face trials and threats of our own?
