It's interesting to me as I study the Book of Acts how in chapters 1-4, basically it was all about the Holy Spirit being given, a lot of preaching done by the apostles (sure, they were occasionally thrown in jail, but it's all good), and a lot of people responding to their Gospel message.
This Sunday in our Contemporary Service @ 8:30am, we will walk through Acts 6 together. This is the first sign of disunity since the Great outpouring...some complaining. But I love the way it was handled by this early Church. They discovered there was a problem, they had a meeting, they decided what should be done about it, and they did it (which was the coolest part so far), and then the result...(this really is the coolest part)...
Acts 6:7,
"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 (now that's what I call, R-E-V-I-V-A-L!!!)
But hang on to your seat...next week: Acts 7!
