This message explores how the church is designed to carry weight together. Using the picture of a bridge under pressure and the story of the early church in Acts 6, we look at how God’s solution to growth isn’t more burden on a few, but shared responsibility among many. The sermon introduces the heart behind deacons as servants who step in, take ownership, and help the whole body thrive. It’s a call to move from “I’ll handle it” to “we’ll carry it,” so the church can grow beyond the limits it sets for itself.
