    Contributed by Pastor/Author: Terry Sisney on Jan 30, 2017
    based on 24 ratings
     | 54,475 views

    Paul as we say in the south chases a rabbit of huge importance. He tells of the central importance of the church in God's plan to reveal His wisdom in the Gospel. Then Paul prays that the church will practically live what God has divinely designed.

What an important rabbit to chase today. The church would probably not make it into a list of the 50 most important ...read more

    In Acts 6, we see what kind of positive impact the effective ministry of the deacon can have on a local church.

    The early church was experiencing phenomenal growth, marvelous miracles, pulsating power, and unlimited blessings. Then, right in the middle of this success story, dissension arose. The Greek speaking widows were being neglected in favor of the Hebrew speaking widows. The Apostles said that they ...read more
