Apostles and Deacons (Acts 6:1:7) — A Sermon by R.C. Sproul

Summary

The sermon discusses the early church's dilemma in Acts 6:1-7, where the apostles appointed seven men to handle practical distribution so they could focus on prayer and preaching the Word. The speaker recounts a personal experience of speaking at a pastors' conference while ill, highlighting how God's strength is made perfect in weakness. The takeaway is that pastors must prioritize their mandate to minister the Word of God rather than deviating into other forms of public speaking.
