Serving Tables

Discussion Questions:

1) Was there anything from the sermon or the passage that stuck out to you?

2) The early church faced a moment where people felt overlooked because the community was growing faster than its ability to care for everyone. Have you ever felt overlooked or neglected in a community, and how did that experience shape the way you treat others?

3) The apostles responded to complaints not with defensiveness but by creating new ways to serve. When someone brings a complaint or frustration to you, what is your natural first reaction?

4) Scripture describes the ministry of teaching and the ministry of serving tables using the same word, placing them on equal footing. What type of service do you tend to undervalue, and why do you think that is?

5) Acts 6:7 shows that when the church organized itself to care for people well, the gospel spread and the number of believers multiplied. What is one practical step you could take this week to serve someone who might otherwise be overlooked?
