Whatever It Takes: Acts 6.1-7

So the word of God spread. The number of disciples in Jerusalem increased rapidly, and a large number of priests became obedient to the faith. Acts 6.7

The Leadership Cycle-

Four-fold ministers are to

Equip the saints.

Saints are to

Do works of service.

Works of service

Equip the body of Christ.

The equipped body of Christ

Creates more four-fold ministers.

Philip serves as a great example-

1. He became a deacon. Acts 6.5

2. He became an evangelist. Acts 8.5-8

3. He preached everywhere. Acts 8.40

4. He ministered to his family. Acts 21.8-9

Take Away Point-

The Kingdom of God deserves our attention.

The gospel of Jesus Christ should be our value.

The work of the Kingdom should be our objective.
