Key Verse: Acts 6

A Church cannot JUST BE whatever we want. A Church MUST be what God CALLED it to BE.

Acts 6:1-2 (ESV)

We are HERE for those who are not YET HERE.

Q. Why is it important that we are here for those not yet here?

Q. In what ways may this statement differ from your previous experience with church?

1. The PRIORITY of a GODLY Church: TO PREACH the WORD of GOD.

Ephesians 4:11–14 (ESV)

Q. With what kind of people does God fill the church and why?

2. The PROGRAMS of a GODLY Church: SERVE to HELP PREACH the WORD of GOD.

Acts 6:3-4 (ESV)

1 Peter 4:10–11 (ESV)

Acts 6:5–6 (ESV)

Q. What gifts and desires do you have that God has given you where you can be proactive in helping advance the Gospel?

There is JOY in a Church when the Pastor FEEDS and the people are STRENGTHENED by the FOOD served so they can bring MORE PEOPLE to the TABLE.

Q. Can you share an example from your own experience regarding this?

3. THE PRODUCE of a GODLY Church: PEOPLE are RELEASED into God-given POTENTIAL to magnify the WORD of GOD.

Acts 6:7 (ESV)

Challenge: This week – If you are not currently serving at Waters, explore the different ministries and discover one or two that you will commit to be a part of so the Gospel can be preached and the people will come to hear it!
