Gifted to Serve
Acts 6:1-7
Skip Heitzig
| Acts 6 (NKJV™) | |
| 1 | Now in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplying, there arose a complaint against the Hebrews by the Hellenists, because their widows were neglected in the daily distribution. |
| 2 | Then the twelve summoned the multitude of the disciples and said, "It is not desirable that we should leave the word of God and serve tables. |
| 3 | "Therefore, brethren, seek out from among you seven men of good reputation, full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business; |
| 4 | "but we will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the word." |
| 5 | And the saying pleased the whole multitude. And they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and the Holy Spirit, and Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolas, a proselyte from Antioch, |
| 6 | whom they set before the apostles; and when they had prayed, they laid hands on them. |
| 7 | Then the word of God spread, and the number of the disciples multiplied greatly in Jerusalem, and a great many of the priests were obedient to the faith. |
