This Sunday, the Third Sunday after Pentecost, we will continue our sermon series, Acts: Stories, Scenes, & Spirit.
The text we will explore together is Acts 6:1-7, a scene in which the new community struggles to live out the practice of redistribution so that all needs are met. Divided over cultural differences, the needs of the most vulnerable are overlooked, and an institutional change is required. While the Apostle's remain devoted to the teaching and preaching of God's Word, Deacons are selected to care for and serve the community.
But can the ministries of Word and deed be so easily divided? Whose needs are still being overlooked? What kind of institutional change may be required in the church today?
Loop Church is part of the Christian Reformed Church of North America and worships in Chicago, IL at 410 S. Michigan Ave. in the Fine Arts Building.
