Scripture - Acts 6:7 - "So the word of God spread. The number of disciples in Jerusalem increased rapidly, and a large number of priests became obedient to the faith."
Observation - This verse comes right after a story about delegating responsibility. The disciples were busy doing their Jesus-stuff while there were widows being neglected in receiving of food. So the disciples decided to enlist new volunteers to feed the widows. What I love about the story is that it doesn't end with "So the widows were fed," but with "So the word of God spread." I love it!
Application - What am I doing as a leader to ensure that new people are getting involved in ministry not only for their own benefit, but that the word of God might spread?
Prayer - Dear Lord, thank you for the opportunity to lead. During this 28 days of prayer we have been lifting up to you Celebrate Recovery, the Pekin Campus and all the ministries of BridgeWay. Please speak into the hearts of people today who need to get involved in ministry. Help us at BridgeWay to encourage and recruit new leadership and involvement that the word of God might spread. In Jesus name, Amen.
