Bible Text: Acts 6:1-8 | Preacher: Pastor Brian Nevins | Series: Chronological Study-Early Church | 012 – Chronological Study of the Early Church. When a problem arose in the early days of the church it took spiritual wisdom and a desire to do the right thing to keep Satan from using it to his advantage. Thus was born the office of the deacon in the church. Servants of the highest caliber, who were to be filled with wisdom and the Holy Spirit so that they might tend to even the most obscure of ministries.
