St. Stephan Ordained
St. Stephan by Luis de Morales 1575
St. Stephan Ordained. Acts Chapter 6. I have made a short video of Sunday’s Bible study on Acts chapter 6. Please forgive the roughness since this is the first time I’ve done this. May you receive it at a blessing. Also, if you have any suggests to improve this kind of video or comments on the subject itself, email me at oslcp@machlink.com. May this be received as a blessing to all who view it. God bless, Pastor Pautz
Acts 6 (NKJV)
6 Now in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplying, there arose a complaint against the Hebrews by the Hellenists, because their widows were neglected in the daily distribution. 2 Then the twelve summoned the multitude of the disciples and said, “It is not desirable that we should leave the word of God and serve tables. 3 Therefore, brethren, seek out from among you seven men of good reputation, full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business; 4 but we will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the word.”
5 And the saying pleased the whole multitude. And they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and the Holy Spirit, and Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolas, a proselyte from Antioch, 6 whom they set before the apostles; and when they had prayed, they laid hands on them.
7 Then the word of God spread, and the number of the disciples multiplied greatly in Jerusalem, and a great many of the priests were obedient to the faith.
