This week we’ll be in Acts 6.  In this chapter, we find the early church experiencing a tension that has always existed, no matter how big or small the church is.  It’s a tension that has always existed in our church and will always come up, whether we grow or stay the same size.  It’s the tension between inreach and outreach, between caring for those who are already in the church and reaching those who are outside the church.  It’s a tension that is felt whenever people feel they are being overlooked, or whenever people feel like the church is doing nothing to reach beyond its walls.
