How are local church leaders—and the whole church congregation—to function in Satan’s world? We all have a sin nature, and none of us are perfect, yet God sets high standards in His Word for the qualifications of church leaders.

This week on “Encounter God’s Truth” from Whitcomb Ministries, we hear the conclusion of Dr. John Whitcomb’s teaching through Acts 6, in a message titled “The Church: Organized and Empowered.” It is from Volume Two of our series on “Acts: Witness of the Early Church.”

This chapter teaches us about the inception of the office of deacon, and also establishes the supreme importance of the task of teaching the Bible faithfully in the local church.

That is also our mission on this broadcast—to proclaim that God’s Word is true from the beginning to the end!

With host Wayne Shepherd, it is our joy to bring you more of Dr. Whitcomb’s classic Bible teaching every week. We do so again this time with thanks to Middletown Bible Church in Middletown, Connecticut, where this sermon was recorded.
