Put Into Practice…
1. After being released from jail, the apostles were told to go stand in the temple courts and tell people the full message of this new life. What is this “new life” they were to talk about? Can you describe it?
2. In Acts 6, the church leaders said that it was important for them to devote themselves to the ministry of the word and prayer. Why do you think it was so important for them to do this?
3. What do you think the ministry of the word and prayer looks like?
4. Discuss the role of each. What should that look like in the local church?
· Elders – Ministry of the word and prayer.
· Deacons – Caring for the spiritual needs of the members.
· Ministry Leaders – Carrying out the churches ministry plan.
5. Both Stephen and Philip are listed as deacons in Acts 6; yet, we find them in Acts 7 & 8 preaching the word and conducting Bible studies. Why is it important for elders to be mentoring the next generation of church leaders?
6. Conclude your time praying that God will raise up the next deacons for the Vaughn Hill church.
Conclude in prayer.
