Read the text – Acts 6:1-7
In the sermon series of ‘Acts: Risen. Reigning. Reaching’, we looked at the book of Acts to see the challenges that the early church had faced and how Jesus worked in spirit to support them. For this final message, Ken Noakes speaks on Chapter 6 of Acts and shows how the church has a responsibility not just to the spreading of the gospel, but the practical service and prayerful ministry for the church itself.
Jesus has Risen, Reigns over His church and is constantly Reaching for the lost and his people. Acts encourages us to be a part of that in perseverance, peace and joy. When the Spirit moves the Church, what will you do?

In this sermon of the sermon series ‘Acts: Risen. Reigning. Reaching’, Ken Noakes speaks on the Sanhedrin held in Acts after the healing of a cripple. He shows that there was more than a simple trial of men, but instead John and Peter’s chance to share the message that Jesus is the only way to salvation. Despite threats and pressure from the religious leaders, they stood firm in that message. And if unschooled, ordinary men can do it, we can have courage to stand firm in Christ as well.
