Post Sermon Reflections

Welcome to another episode of the Post Sermon Reflections Podcast! Join hosts Liam Castle and Donna Hull as they dive deep into the application of Sunday morning's sermon to everyday life. Today, they discuss Pastor Brennan's powerful message from Acts 6:1-7, exploring the early church's explosive growth and the critical balance between mercy ministry and gospel ministry.

Donna provides a recap of the text, highlighting the apostles' wise decision to appoint deacons to handle the distribution of food, allowing them to focus on preaching. This strategic move resulted in even greater growth and surprising conversions, including some priests.

Liam and Donna reflect on how this passage emphasizes the importance of each ministry and the need for everyone to contribute their unique gifts. They also share personal takeaways and challenges, such as the significance of showing up with a "yes" in your spirit and the necessity of meeting people's practical needs while sharing the gospel.
