The answer to life's burdens is not found in ourselves, but in the eternal God who never fails. Scripture: Deuteronomy 33:24-25 (KJV)
Don't Murmur—Be a Minister | Acts 6
Pastor Matt Nettesheim preaches from Acts 6:1-7, showing how the early church faced a serious problem yet continued to grow because godly servants stepped forward to help.
