This young church in the book of Acts faced many challenges. They weren’t even a few years old and they faced the arrest of its leaders. They were still just getting started and there were mixed and even false motives among their members; you might even say that this early church was already full of hypocrites. They were just getting started and great persecutions were about to break out against them. This young church in the book of Acts faced many challenges.

This week as we continue our series in the book of Acts, we see that the church is at the same time resilient and wise as they faced these challenges. Racial tensions and divisions might have divided them. They could have ignored the problem and continued on as normal. They could have addressed the problem and created another. But the church did neither. They faced the problem and continue on aggressively with their God-given ministry.

Mount Lebanon is hardly a young church, but we still face many of the same challenges that this early church did. It’s good for us to see this church make its way through the mess and emerge resiliently and mission-focused. We’ll be looking at Acts 6:1-8.

Please join us for worship:
