Greetings, beloved! 🌟

Today, we reflect on the pivotal events of Acts 6, a chapter that highlights the importance of servant leadership, the power of faith, and the spread of the Gospel.

When a complaint arose over the neglect of Hellenistic widows in food distribution, the twelve apostles proposed a solution. They asked the community to choose seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom, to oversee this task. This allowed the apostles to focus on prayer and the ministry of the word.

Among the chosen were Stephen and Philip. The apostles prayed and laid hands on them, resulting in the rapid spread of God's word and many priests becoming obedient to the faith. This illustrates the necessity of servant leadership in addressing community needs, enabling spiritual leaders to concentrate on their divine mission.

Stephen, full of grace and power, performed great wonders and signs, but faced opposition from members of the Synagogue of the Freedmen. Unable to counter his wisdom, they falsely accused him of blasphemy, leading to his arrest. Stephen's story showcases how being filled with the Holy Spirit empowers believers to perform miracles and speak with unassailable wisdom, highlighting the transformative power of a Spirit-filled life dedicated to service and proclaiming the Gospel.
