ADVICE

All Are Called to Serve

  • Every member of the church has a role; no one is a spectator in God's kingdom.
  • Do not expect pastors or staff to do everything; step into your God-given responsibilities.
ANECDOTE

  • Philip, not the apostle but "also Philip," was initially seen as just a table waiter for widows but later performed miracles and preached powerfully.
  • His ministry shows God often uses ordinary people in extraordinary ways, even without a prominent title.
INSIGHT

Good from Persecution

  • Persecution caused the early Christians to scatter, leading to the gospel spreading beyond Jerusalem.
