"Strengthening the Core: Servanthood, Strategy, and Spiritual Authority" Description:As the Church rapidly expands, so do the challenges. Acts 6 reveals the early Church’s first internal conflict—an issue of neglected widows and cultural division. But rather than derail the movement, this moment becomes a masterclass in Spirit-led leadership and godly delegation. The apostles refuse to be distracted from prayer and preaching, and seven faithful men are appointed to serve—with Stephen at the forefront. This sermon dives into how Acts 6 marks a turning point: the Church matures, its structure strengthens, and its mission sharpens. We’ll explore how godly order fuels growth, how servanthood is never second-class, and how Stephen’s character—full of faith, wisdom, and power—sets the stage for revival through persecution. Acts 6 reminds us that leadership isn’t about control—it’s about calling. When the Church embraces Spirit-filled service at every level, it becomes unstoppable. This is more than an administrative adjustment; it’s a divine strategy for multiplication.
