This week David Sisk leads us on a study of Biblical Church structure and how we should apply those principals to our daily lives. David also points some very important differences between what the Apostles taught in Acts during Pentecost and what Paul taught to the Gentiles and the reasons for both teachings.

Scriptures used in today’s study:

Act 6:1  And in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplied, there arose a murmuring of the Grecians against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily ministration. 
Act 6:2  Then the twelve called the multitude of the disciples unto them, and said, It is not reason that we should leave the word of God, and serve tables. 
Act 6:3  Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business. 
Act 6:4  But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word. 
Act 6:7  And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great company of the priests were obedient to the faith. 

Act 2:41  Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls. 
Act 2:42  And they continued stedfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. 
Act 2:43  And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles. 
Act 2:44  And all that believed were together, and had all things common; 
Act 2:45  And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need. 
Act 2:46  And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, 
Act 2:47  Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.

Act 5:14  And believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women.) 

Act 4:32  And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common. 
Act 4:33  And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all. 
Act 4:34  Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold, 
Act 4:35  And laid them down at the apostles’ feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need. 
Act 4:36  And Joses, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas, (which is, being interpreted, The son of consolation,) a Levite, and of the country of Cyprus, 
Act 4:37  Having land, sold it, and brought the money, and laid it at the apostles’ feet. 

1Ti 3:8  Likewise must the deacons be grave, not doubletongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre; 
1Ti 3:9  Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience. 
1Ti 3:10  And let these also first be proved; then let them use the office of a deacon, being found blameless. 
1Ti 3:11  Even so must their wives be grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful in all things. 
1Ti 3:12  Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well. 
1Ti 3:13  For they that have used the office of a deacon well purchase to themselves a good degree, and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.
