Acts 6 - Are you willing to learn from those who think, act, and look differently than you?

With Lisa Jacob from a Gateway Pflugerville

The disciples discover that the Greek widows had been overlooked in the daily distribution of food. Though the Hebraic widows receive their daily portion, the Grecian widows do not, furthering the disparity between the two communities and further marginalizing the Grecian community. Because of the grave injustice, the disciples step in.

Instead of addressing the issue themselves, they empower the community to select Spirit-led leaders of wisdom to oversee this wrong being made right. They select 7 leaders - all of Grecian descent - to reallocate resources equitably and to submit to the leaders at the margins of their society.
