Now in these days when the disciples were increasing in number, a complaint by the Hellenists arose against the Hebrews because their widows were being neglected in the daily distribution.

Church government and constitutions are not exactly the most exciting subject. When people want to talk about it, it usually means they have either had a rough experience somewhere, are Biblical nerds, or need some thing to help them fall asleep. Just kidding. Sorta.
But this week, we are going to at least touch on the subject. In Acts 6 we run into something that churches are exceptional at - having conflicts. In order to solve it and to protect the calling of the Apostles, something important happens. As we read through this narrative, we will begin to uncover several things about the nature and organization of the early church. Read through Acts 6 to prepare your heart and mind for this Sunday. And make sure you read through the important updates below as well.
