Elders, Deacons, & Church Growth | Acts 6 Explained

Discover God's blueprint for church growth from Acts 6:1–7. Many Christians think church growth depends on programs, personalities, or marketing—but Scripture points us somewhere entirely different. In this sermon, Pastor John Musgrave explains how Jesus structured His Church with two biblical offices—elders and deacons—so that believers are cared for, elders are devoted to prayer and the ministry of the Word, and the gospel spreads in both depth and breadth. Learn why deacons are essential to a healthy congregation, how elders strengthen believers through prayer and Biblical teaching, and why God's design produces both spiritual maturity and new disciples. Whether you're an elder, deacon, church member, or simply seeking a more biblical understanding of church leadership, this exposition of Acts 6 offers practical wisdom for every local church.Here’s the video @ https://youtu.be/Yd6upwC7U80See other resources and teaching @ https://www.christchurchclayton.org/mediaWatch other sermons in the Gospel of John series @ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLm8Dt3kxWQ8RVudN3VOk1teh6thzyAuJD#ChurchGrowth #Acts6 #Deacons #Elders #BibleTeaching #Prayer #ChurchLeadership #ExpositoryPreaching #BiblicalChurch #ChristianLiving #JohnMusgrave #ChristChurchOfClaytonNC  #TheGospelForLiving #RTS
