The Establishment of Deacons | A World Without End

Redemption Hill Church Sermons · Jul 10, 2025 · 1h 1m

In Acts 6:1–7, the early church faces growing pains as the number of disciples increases. A complaint arises over the neglect of certain widows in the daily distribution of food. Rather than let division take root, the apostles act with wisdom, appointing seven Spirit-filled men to handle the practical needs—freeing the apostles to remain focused on prayer and the ministry of the Word. This pivotal moment shows how godly leadership, delegation, and unity protect the church’s mission and lead to even greater growth.
