Sunday Morning Bible Study -- for Dec 7th

didn't tom taylor do a wonderful job leading the lesson the past two sundays? tom is now an expert on Acts Ch 5. how many chapters does that leave? oh well, it's a start. seriously, i appreciate his diligent study of the word and willingness to lead us in our study.
this coming sunday, read Acts Ch 6, focusing on vv 1-8. we are beginning a two chapter study (chs 6-7) that introduces stephen.
outline of stephen: from "waiting tables" to a "witnessing testimony"
the man
the ministry
the message
the martyr
in the focal verses for this sunday (acts 6:1-8), look for the following:
Q what was the conflict that arose in the church?
Q who did the conflict involve?
Q how did the apostles demonstrate leadership concerning this conflict?
Q what solution did the apostles propose to the congregation?
Q what was the congregation's response to the apostles' proposed solution?
Q how was the conflict resolved? what was the result?
Q what four things was stephen "full of"? (vv 3, 8)
Q what principles can we identify and what applications can we make from the manner in which the apostles handled this issue?
see you sunday.

ps we still need a nickname for waymer. carri's submission of "J-Way" seems to have the inside track at this time based on informal polls. log onto the "comments" section of the waymer post and enter your submission, if you dare. there will be a vote once we can find enough people that care to make a quorum.
