Risky Obedience

Acts 6:1-7

Have you ever felt called to minister? Perhaps the call was to do something to help a friend, a neighbor or even … [gulp] … witness to a stranger?

Ever felt as though you ignored the call because you were too afraid?

As Christians, we’re all called to minister, but sometimes we let fear stand in the way. This passage in Acts tells us about seven of the early church’s deacons and how they responded to the call. To be sure, obedience has its risks, but when you’re called by God himself, what do you have to fear?

Take a moment to contemplate that question, and then please join us this Sunday as Pastor Vernon leads us through the teaching.
