Growth. What\u2019s the worst thing that can happen to the church? Growth. Why and why? Because growth means that more people are getting saved, and we are one more salvation closer to the return of Jesus. And because with growth comes human management and influence on the structural elements of gatherings. Complaining often manifests. Not every complaint regarding the church is a deficient complaint.\n\n2) So, what was the issue with the church? There were two types of Jewish people in the faith. Remember, no Gentiles yet. There were Hebraic and Grecians Jews. The trouble was that the Grecian Jews were contributing to the cause. They were giving to the work. However, their widows were being neglected. Here\u2019s the key: it\u2019s not that there are problems. It\u2019s all about HOW we handle the issues.\n\n3) The Apostles made a significant point.

It\u2019s all about continual partnerships.","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/b6115712-ffde-487e-8e39-788dcdb7bdd2/1000-itunes-1650468149.jpg"}
