Sermon Outline:

  1. Complaints
  2. Central
  3. Caretaker Criteria

Reflection Questions:

  1. How do you feel about the fact that Hellenist widows suffered neglect in the church!? Why do you think the Hebrews were neglecting the Hellenist widows? …Do you think the Hebrews would agree with the allegation that they were neglecting the Hellenist widows?
  2. How do you feel about the HEAVY emphasis on sharing the Word of God with people in Acts 6-8? e.g. Acts 6:2,4; 7:2-53; 8:30-35.
  3. Based on the characters God commends in Scripture (e.g. Moses, Elijah, Elisha, Daniel, Esther, Jesus, Paul, etc.) what does it really mean to be ‘full of the spirit and wisdom’?
  4. What do you make of the fact that all the deacons mentioned in Acts 6 have Greek names (see v.5)?
