The Inward Mission

Series: Acts - The Unstoppable Church

Category: The Mission

Speaker: Jason Williams

In the sermon this past Sunday, we looked at the inward mission of the church in Acts 6:1-7. In this part of the early church narrative, we see church growth cause the workload of ministry to increase and personal barriers emerge. In response to these challenges, the church is driven by the Gospel and empowered by the Holy Spirit to overcome personal barriers in order to love one another well. Through this example, we see that when the spiritual leaders of the church faithfully and humbly equip the members to serve in ministry, the Holy Spirit causes the church to flourish and the community to be significantly impacted for God’s glory. What are some of the personal barriers that prevent you from loving others well (i.e. business, selfishness, prejudice, stress, etc.)? What spiritual gifts have you been given by the Holy Spirit to serve in the local church?
