Acts 6

Apr 12, 2026    Pastor Carlos Rodriguez

* The apostles delegated the administrative task of distributing food to seven appointed men (often

considered the first deacons) to avoid neglecting the preaching of the Word.

* The church addressed a complaint of discrimination against Greek-speaking widows by improving

management, demonstrating that spiritual communities should handle practical, unfair situations effectively.

* Those chosen to help were not just organizers, but were required to be "full of the Spirit and wisdom"

(Acts 6:3).

* Church leadership must maintain focus on prayer and teaching, rather than becoming consumed by

administrative tasks.

* As churches or organizations grow, conflicts are natural, but they can lead to better structures and

expansion if handled wisely.

* Stephen, one of the appointed, displayed how a servant leader can operate with grace, power, and wisdom,

facing opposition with boldness rather than fear.
