Acts of the Apostles: Getting Organized

The Book of Acts tells an amazing story - it tells the story of how God began the movement known as The Church. And it tells the story of all the amazing things that God, by His Spirit, did through this movement as His people committed to following Jesus together and to reclaiming God’s vision for the world, even as they faced some extraordinary challenges together.

In today's message, Jeff digs into Acts 6:1-7. A lot of people have problems with “organized religion” and the “institutional church”. And yet even the early church eventually had to organize itself and build some structures around it. Why is this important? What does this mean for us today?
