The rapid growth of the church led to a potentially explosive ethnic conflict among the new believers and tough leadership choices for the Apostles. This week we sift through what we can learn from how the church responded. 
Scripture - Acts 6:1-7

Speaker - Brian

This is another dramatic account of the apostles witnessing to what they have experienced with Jesus. How does that translate into our lives? What is the reality of God's grace at work in us and how do we tell people about that?
Scripture: Acts 5:12-42

Speaker: Karen Block

One of the new things that resulted from the outpouring of the Holy Spirit was a radical generosity in which people who had more shared freely with those who had less. The church became a source of practical help for people as well as spiritual help. We explore where that impulse originated.

Bible Passage: Psalm 42-43

Date: July 20th

Hurt at the hands of people whom we have cared for and trusted can shred our hearts. Injustice and oppression can plant anger and even hatred in our souls. What is one to do with that kind of injustice. Psalm 109 provides some insight--painful as it is.
