BBE summary for : Acts 6
Summary: Acts Chapter 6 describes a significant moment in the early church as it confronted challenges related to its rapid growth. The chapter begins with a dispute arising between Hellenistic (Grecian) Jews and Hebraic Jews regarding the equitable distribution of food to widows. To address this issue, the apostles gather the disciples and propose the selection of seven men, known as deacons, who are of good reputation, full of the Spirit, and wise, to oversee this important task. The congregation selects seven, including Stephen and Philip, and they are presented to the apostles, who pray and lay their hands on them, signifying their commissioning. This act of delegating responsibilities allows the apostles to focus on prayer and the ministry of the word. The chapter emphasizes the importance of leadership and service within the church body and highlights how proper organization can lead to growth and unity. As the chapter concludes, it notes that as the word of God continues to spread, many more people, including a large number of priests, come to faith. The key themes of service, community, and the importance of maintaining unity amidst diversity are evident, showcasing the early church's commitment to both spiritual and practical needs. Stephen, one of the seven deacons, is noted for performing signs and wonders, foreshadowing his significant role in the subsequent chapters.
