Church Leadership

From the series: Acts: The Church on the Move

Acts 6 reveals that staying spiritually healthy during growth and challenges requires protecting priorities, empowering others, and maintaining unity in diversity. When the early church faced division over neglected widows, the apostles refused to abandon prayer and preaching to serve tables, instead appointing Spirit-filled leaders to address practical needs. This wisdom teaches that good things can become distractions from God things, and healthy churches multiply servants rather than consolidating power.

Acts 1 teaches us that seasons of waiting are not wasted but vital for spiritual preparation. The early church's first act after Christ's ascension was to obey His command to wait and pray, establishing godly leadership while refusing passivity. True leadership seeks towels not titles, following Christ who washed feet rather than demanding position, reminding us that influence for God's glory matters more than any earthly title.
