The Church is Rooted and Growing

How will it change us? Who will we become? Are we willing to change? The church in Jerusalem would never be the same. They started the work of delegating the day to day work of the church, those leaders might have stayed in that position but Stephen wouldn’t--Stephen is also a preacher. The church would change because the Apostles were now able to leave, they could travel and preach because they knew the church in Jerusalem would be cared for. They church would continue to grow beyond Jerusalem to the ends of the earth because they were willing to be changed and open to what the Spirit was calling them to, making room for the next thing, and the next.
