Early church conflicts (Acts 6:1-7)

<p>Acts 5:1-7 - 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. 2 And the twelve summoned the full number of the disciples and said, “It is not right that we should give up preaching the word of God to serve tables. 3 Therefore, brothers, pick out from among you seven men of good repute, full of the Spirit and of wisdom, whom we will appoint to this duty. 4 But we will devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the word.” 5 And what they said pleased the whole gathering, and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolaus, a proselyte of Antioch. 6 These they set before the apostles, and they prayed and laid their hands on them. 7 And the word of God continued to increase, and the number of the disciples multiplied greatly in Jerusalem, and a great many of the priests became obedient to the faith.</p> <p><strong>Not A Needy Person is now LIVE - Submit needs or meet the needs of others</strong> <a href= "https://NotANeedyPerson.org" target="_blank" rel= "nofollow noopener">https://NotANeedyPerson.org</a> </p> <p><strong>Join me for "Scripture Sketches" - weekly video teaching on my YouTube channel - SUBSCRIBE SO YOU DON'T MISS ANY OF THESE STUDIES:</strong> <a href="https:/careygreen.com/youtube" target="_blank" rel= "nofollow noopener">https://careygreen.com/youtube</a> </p> <p><strong>SUBMIT YOUR PRAYER REQUEST OR PRAISE:</strong> <a href="https:/careygreen.com/prayer" target="_blank" rel= "nofollow noopener">https://careygreen.com/prayer</a> </p> <p><strong>BECOME A MORNING MINDSET PARTNER:</strong><br /> <br /> <strong><em>1) monthly partner:</em></strong> <a href= "https:/mm-partners.supercast.tech/" target="_blank" rel= "nofollow noopener">https://mm-partners.supercast.tech/</a><br /> <br /> <em><strong>2) Give a one-time gift:</strong></em> <a href= "https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/yourmorningmindset" target= "_blank" rel= "nofollow noopener">https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/yourmorningmindset</a></p>
