The Gospel in Word and Deed
Acts 6 verse by verse
Teacher: Pastor Jim Thomas
Date: April 26, 2026

In Acts 6, the early church was growing—but it was also experiencing some growing pains. Needs were rising, tensions were surfacing, and the apostles were faced with some critical leadership questions. What unfolded was not a crisis that weakened the church, but a moment that clarified it.

Because as the gospel was lived out in both word and deed, something powerful happened— the church grew deeper, loved wider, served better, and shined brighter.

This was not the picture of a perfect church, but of a real church, a community learning how to remain centered on God’s Word, how to care for its own people, and how to move forward together under the grace of God.

And it raises an important question for us in our own day and time: What kind of church are we becoming? Join Pastor Jim as he unpacks the treasures of God’s wisdom to be found in Acts 6.
