God, we ask You increase in us a generous spirit that reflects Your generous heart. Make us the kind of people who give like You do as You created us to, God. Thank You for Your gift of gee us to us. We pray this in His Name. Amen. >> Joel: Amen. Thank you very much. Good morning, everyone. This is the kids' spot where we fry to have something observable -- try to have something observable, teaching-wise for children and those young at heart as well. Now, the cool thing is when you become a believer, you have the opportunity to overflow living water in people's lives. That's what we want to do as believers. However, the interesting thing is that we all come with flaws. I have a little pin here. I have a bottle of water. I will poke my bottle of water a few times and will see little dribbles. Interesting. All right. So when you say, "What are some of your flaws?" Think about this. Let's suppose that you said, "You know what? I want to serve God; I want to do what He wants me to do; but the thing is I'm afraid to speak in front of people." Did you know I was afraid to speak in front of people? Yes, I was. Did you know I will bet that most of our worship team back here at one point was afraid to get up that first time and probably many other times and play an instrument, be in front of people? You know, interestingly I asked Kyle. He leads our first service and he said when he was 13 he remembers it vividly, just getting up in front of people and being afraid. You know, we have a tendency to be afraid when we want to share the Gospel with someone. There's the voice of "What happens if you don't know the answers? What happens if they reject you? What will you do about that?" That's where Scripture comes in. The verse I have for us today is 1 Corinthians 12:9 that says, "But he said to me, my grace is sufficient for you, my power is made perfect in weakness." God shines through our cracks. "Therefore, I will boast all the more gladly of my weakness so that the power of Christ may rest upon me." Now, as you see, the water is not coming out. Yes, I can squeeze it, but then it would shoot out but then would -- oh, I can do it, okay? (Laughter) It just goes back in and doesn't do anything. But I want the living water to go out. What do I do? If I take the lid off, all of a sudden air comes in and water starts to shoot out. Now, as a believer, how do we take the lid off? Well, we focus on Christ. We live the principles of His Word; we trust Him; and we realize that even in our weaknesses that is where He shines. So check this out. When you take it off -- and by the way if you come on stage, don't slip. We'll put that down there. Yes. (Laughter) That's what my big box was for. Bottom line -- (Laughter) There is a mop behind me, is there not? (Laughter) Bottom line: Always be prepared TO serve God and let God shine through your cracks and weaknesses. Thank you very much. (Applause) >> Shane: Excuse me a moment. Thank you, Joel. This job just gets harder and harder. (Laughter) I don't know what I will do with that. There we go. If you're new here, we're SO glad to have you with us and hope you will come by to our New Here? Start Here room where we can help you answer your questions and serve you. If you fill out the QR code that is on the pew in front of you, let us know how you want to get involved and connected. Fill that out so we can let that happen. If you're online, get in the chat room and let us get to know you as well. We're so glad to have everyone here. Danelle is here. Kids one through five, if you would like to go to Main Street Live, you can go there. Parents, there are two kiosks to check them in real quick. Everybody else, let's stand up and have a little bit of time to greet one another in some fellowship. ("Sing Wherever I Go" playing) >> Ronnie: Fantastic! Thank you so much, Richard and vocalists and musicians. Didn't they do just a great job leading us this morning? (Applause) I mean, fantastic! Thank you so much. Good morning, everybody. So glad to see you to those of you in the room. We welcome you today to our second service here at the First Colony Church of Christ. And hundreds of you are worshiping with us online. We're so glad, glad to have you as well. Three weeks from today is Easter Sunday coming up on April 17, and on Easter Sunday we will have three services, a little unique time on Easter Sunday with no classes or anything that day. No 9:45 hour for Bible classes. Three worship services at 7:00 a.m., 9:00 a.m., and 11:00 a.m.. 7:00, 9:00, and 11:00. The 7:00 a.m. service will be outdoors in our courtyard, sunrise service. Our 9:00 service will also be an a capella service right here. And then our 11:00 service will be right here and our fantastic praise team, praise band leading us. That's coming up on Easter Sunday. Now, two weeks from today, Palm Sunday, April 10, we're calling it Baptism Sunday. This is what that will look like. You know, from time to time over the years maybe on a Sunday service I have said, "If anyone --" I throw it out there. "If anyone would like to be baptized this afternoon, I will be at the church building between this time and this time; come on up." Well, on Sunday, April 10, two weeks from today, we will give you that opportunity. You know, there's no such thing as a private disciple but is okay to have a small baptism, all right? It's okay to have a private baptism. Some people don't necessarily want to be baptized in front of hundreds of people but are willing to go public serving the Lord. So on April 10 between 1:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m., I will be hanging out here in the baptistery. I will be a little waterlocked after a while but -- waterlogged after a while but will hang out in the Baptist I and are prepared for you. It may be one, ten, somewhat inbetween, or more. Maybe you or your teenager or someone you know coming up April 10 between 1:00 and 3:00 p.m. All you have to do is just come on up. Why don't you bring a swimsuit to wear under a baptismal garment? We'll have someone to meet you and escort you back here and answer any questions. You will be baptized. Afterwards, you meet with one of our shepherds and have your first communion as a baptized believer and will go from there, okay? Fair enough? Now, for the next two Sundays, April 3 and 10, Shane Gage, our mop guy up here -- (Laughter) Shane Gage will teach a special class on baptism during our 9:45 hour next Sunday, April 3, and the following Sunday, April 10. It's the same class, just repeated so you can come either April 3 or April 10, 9:45. The information is in your printed Order of Worship or in your digital Order of Worship. It will be in a classroom around the gym so that will be for the next two Sundays so if you have questions, for example, about baptism, that will be helpful, all right? Good. We are in a message series from Acts called Spirit, Mission, and Drama. The title today is "Both Spirit and Structure." Here's a statement I like to put up on the screen. We do not have to choose between Spirit and structure; we can do both/and. Here's why this is important: The early church had significant growth quickly and had their hands full because many people, with numerous needs, plus high expectations equals endless responsibilities. So today we're in a section of Scripture that looks at organization and structure practically in a church. You say, "Well, that that just doesn't sound very appealing at all." I get that; I do; but it's important in your life in the church, and I think these principles can be applied to your family, work, and a number of organizations. If a church has any degree of health at all, the Spirit of God is at work because only the Holy Spirit can produce spiritual vitality over the long haul. Only the Holy Spirit can produce the fruit of the Spirit over the long haul; and where the Spirit is, you will find Jesus Christ exalted in EVER increasing measures. But God is not opposed to structure. He's not opposed to organization. Occasionally you will have someone say, "Well, I don't really believe in organized religion." You know what? A LOT of good things have been done by people who are fairly well-organized over the year. Organization comes from the very character of God. God created an organized world, did He not? With a regularity to the rotation of the earth and the tides and the seasons. We can predict certain -- you know, you can go online and figure out what the average temperature will be in Houston in July. You don't have to worry about a freeze hitting us in August. Things are organized in God's way. When Israel was a theocracy, God divided the nation into what? 12 groupings, 12 tribes. In the New Testament Apostle Paul said when it comes to worship in the local church, do not let there be chaos; let things be done decently and in order. And healthy structure, healthy organization, should facilitate the ministry of the Holy Spirit. Sometimes, though, the Spirit is willing, but the structure is weak. Sometimes the Spirit is willing, but the organization is weak. Now, you cannot manage spiritual matters. No programming can substitute for the ministry of the Holy Spirit, but neither can you just spiritualize management matters, all right? So we're gonna see a dilemma in the early church and how the apostles responded to it. All right. let's -- point 1: The apostles will choose to face inevitable problems head on. That's what they will do. They will choose to face an inevitable problem head on. They will not ignore it; they will not be defensive about it. So here we go, Acts 6:1. "In those days when the number of disciples was increasing" -- a good thing, "The Grecian Jews among them complained against the Hebraic Jews because their widows were being overlooked in the daily distribution of food." So you see the early church are facing a problem here. It's an organizational one. Notice it's not a belief problem or lack of compassion or lack of care; but certain widows are being neglected and overlooked. I'm not talking acted whether or not getting as much attention as they want. That's not it. They're not getting their daily distribution of food that they need to survive. That is significant because taking care of widows is Godly business in the Bible; but something has broken down in the church. Again, not a lack of compassion, not a lack of effort; but some Grecian widows have fallen through the cracks, if you will, in church ministry. For these widows with no extended family, the church and its early Meals on Wheels program got them through day by day. So this early church faces a moment of tension, Widowgate, if you will, in this Jerusalem church. Things had been going SO well, but now -- listen carefully -- the Grecian widows have been overlooked, and it feels like bigotry. It peoples like prejudice. It feels like maybe someone's done this deliberately. I mean, who will fall through the cracks first? It will be someone without extended family around, and these are Greek-speaking. They didn't grow up in Jerusalem speaking Aramaic or grow up in Jiang Zemin middle school or Jerusalem high school. They moved in later and unless you don't think this is very practical, let me just ask you: Do you have any concern for someone who didn't grow up around here? Do you have any concern for someone who might be a newcomer here? Do you have any concern for someone for whom English might not be their first language? I think we would all say yes, but it is sort of like that, "Oh, who will bell that cat fable?" Where the mice said "It would be a great idea if we put a bell around the cat's neck. That way we're always know where he is." And all the mice said, "Wonderful idea!" And then someone said, "Who's going to bell that cat?" "Who will put the bell around the cat's neck?" It's a wonderful concept. We want everyone welcomed. We want everyone -- we don't want anyone to fall through the crack, as long as it doesn't affect my group. It wasn't intentional to slight these Grecian widows, but it was felt; and the impact was very, very real. And quite honestly, the problem was simply a structural problem. The church had grown beyond their structure and the apostles, it's not like some of them were lazy. They just couldn't get it all done. If you're familiar with Lael Schaller, a consultant and by training was an urban planner, but in a lot of studies it is shown that Lael Schalle is appreciated across the board. His primary research is to North American protestant churches, but Schaller said the mistake so many people make is they think that a larger church is just like a smaller church, just with more people. He said, you couldn't be more wrong. It's a completely different animal as a church gets larger over time. He even put names to them. For example -- let me put this on the screen. He said some churches are cat churches. You know what a cat church is? They have nine lives. (Laughter) It's a church of about 35 to 40 people and you see them and think, "Well, bless their heart; look at all those gray heads out there. That church won't be here in another 20 years." Yes, they are. They got nine lives. When Martha was my girlfriend -- I mean, she's still my girlfriend but my wife of 41 years -- she would go with me and I would preach on Sundays in college, Shady Grove Church of Christ. "Bless their hearts they won't be around another 20 year." 40 years later, they're still going. And then collie churches, 80 to 100 people. They love one another but if an outsider comes in, they might bark. (Laughter) For the last three days, more that and I have been taking care of our granddog, Sam. Sam is a golden retriever and he's just a GREAT guy. And Sam loves our family and if I were vouching for you, he would love you; but if you walked up without a proper introduction, you would get a big dog bark. Schaller said some churches are like that. House churches are up to a hundred people and "Feels like we know everyone." This is my group; we sort of know everybody and it's kind of one big happy family. "Oh, where's Uncle Harry today? Where's Joe today? We didn't see so-and-so today." You kind of know everybody. Then it becomes more complex when you're a garden church. Now you're about 350 people and don't just have a house; you got a garden. And the complexity level has increased. And then you become a ranch church. And now you're close to 500 people, and you know what it's like on a ranch, don't you? Something always needs fixing. Something's always broken. "Well, we just fixed that last --" yeah. Something is always broken; something always needs fixing; and a ranch is not like a cat, not like a dog. Something is always broken. And then he said once you're beyond 700, you're a mini-denomination, VERY complex, multiple groups, multiple layers of groups, multiple layer of subgroups. A larger church is not just a bigger version of a smaller church; it's incredibly complex Bishop. In a small you are church, -- smaller church, things happen spontaneously, organically. In a larger church, you have to be MUCH more intentional and a larger church, you can fall through the cracks; you can be very anonymous and quite honestly a lot of people like that. But it's hard to do accountability in a larger church, actually harder to do pastoral care in a larger church. That's why we tell you "We can't read your mind but can communicate with us." In a smaller church, you notice it organically. We're going to give strong attention towards rebilling our -- rebuilding our small group ministry and will ask you, urge you to participate, urge you to help, help us to continue to build that ministry and find your spot. Well, here you have this wonderful early church, but they have a dilemma and the apostles are saying, "This just -- we cannot ignore this. Every widow -- there doesn't need to be a needy one among us." So they're asking the right question: How can we fix this? How can we solve this? You do know, don't you, there are critical people out there who see EVERYTHING wrong and nothing right; everything is wrong. There are complacent people out there who never see anything that needs to be improved, but there are creative people, praise God, who can see something that is amiss or broken and can be improved and grown and helped. And thankfully, that's what the apostles do. Notice they don't become defensive; they don't ignore it; but neither did they say, "Well, you just let us handle it while you sit back and watch." What they did was -- well, that leads to point 2 -- they chose to embrace participation for a solution. They chose to embrace participation for a solution. Verse 2: "So the 12 gathered all the disciples together and they said, it would not be right for us to neglect the ministry of the Word of God in order to wait on tables." Just wouldn't be right. They said, "We have priorities we need to do. And serving our windows, our widows, is absolutely needed; but we can't leave this ministry to do THAT ministry. It's become too large." So they said in verse 3, "Brothers, choose seven men from among you who are known to be full of the Spirit and wisdom, full of the Spirit. They're all in. They love the Lord; they love His people; they're full of wisdom and in other words have emotional intelligence here. "We will turn this responsibility over to them, and we will continue to give our attention to prayer and the ministry of the Word," to spiritual ministry. And verse 5, as one person as one said, describes the greatest miracle in the entire Book of Acts. "This proposal pleased the whole group." THAT'S a miracle. I was taught when I went into ministry 10% of the people will oppose anything. If you were to ask them, "How many want to go to heaven?" 10% would oppose it. (Laughter) And here you have THIS proposal actually pleased the whole group. Hey, let me read a Scripture out of 1 Peter 4. I will just do a little sidebar here. Above all, would you love each other deeply because love can cover over a multitude of sins." Hey, I just want to remind you that in this episode we're reading in Acts, you don't see anyone assuming the worst. It's a structure problem. Nobody's calling for repentance. It's an organization problem. They need to tweak that. No one is assuming the worst in one another; we can fix this. This is solvable, because love can cover over a multitude of thing that are broken. "Offer hospitality to one another without fumbling and each one has use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God grace in its various forms." In other words, the greatest resource a church has is its people who are surrendered from one another, surrendered to the Holy Spirit. So here the apostles, facing a problem and they face it; they're not defensive; they face it; they delegate responsibility. The third thing they did is they stick with their own priorities, their own values and their own priorities. Verse 6. They presented these men to the apostles who prayed and laid hand on them. They were appointed; they were platformed; and notice the Word of God spread. The number of disciples in Jerusalem continue to increase rapidly and even a large number of priests became obedient to the faith." You know, sometimes engineers will a casingally ask this question -- occasionally ask this question and some engineers out there know this: If we solve this problem, what new problem are we creating? It would have. been -- it's not a bad thing to distribute food to widows. It's not a bad thing. It's a very, very good thing; but if the apostles had said "We're going to neglect our apostolic priorities to do a ministry that other very qualified people can be responsible for," good things can happen. So the early church face a problem caused by an outdated structure. They met that problem with sensitivity and appropriate change, and the solution was what? Increased participation, welcoming a diversity of gifts. The solution was a new kind of teamwork in the body of Christ. Gang, let me just remind you: It takes all of us, and we all have finite amounts of time. I'm full-time ministry but I'm not unlimited time ministry. We all have finite amounts of time. We all have finite resources and have finite waking hours. You can only -- we all have just so many Lego points. We all like Legos. We have so many connection point and if I'm connecting somebody new, I got to disconnect something. We can't possibly know everyone in a sizeable group. That doesn't mean we can't know several someones that there is a place for you to know and be known and serve, but we have to have reasonable expectations and reasonable spans of compare -- care. I watched a funeral yesterday for a good friend of mine, Jeff Robison, who died too soon, died two young, really good man. Jeff and I used to co-lead camps together. I first met him when I spoke at a church where he was a youth minister back in the early `80s. We became fast friends over the yearses. When I got word this past week he had become seriously ill very quickly and died last Sunday, I thought I've not talked to Jeff in too long. It's just. Too long since we. You haved Pate You say, Ronnie, did you two have a falling out? We didn't have a falling out. Well, did he have something against you and you have something -- no, not at all. There was a time when we lived fairly close to one another in a season in our life and we were tight and seasons change. We have just so much time and connection points. Not a within of us has unlimited -- that's why in a sizable church, the more important it is to be connected in your group. Now, so here they raise up new leaders, additional leaders; and you know what a leader is. A leader is someone who takes initiative and accepts responsibility. And they were fantastic. And I'm so thankful that when they found those seven people to help with that ministry that they said yes, count me in. I will accept responsibility, and I will take initiative. You know, there's an interesting book that came out a few years ago called "Everything is Obvious" written by Duncan Watts, a researcher at Microsoft, a university professor. I believe he still is at Wharton Business School. He talks in the book about posing a problem to his university class. He said -- here's the dilemma. He said, "I want you to consider two countries. In country A, 12% of the population agrees to be an organ donor. In country B, 99% of the population has agreed to be an organ donor." And he asked the class, "What accounts for the difference?" They came up with lots of possibilities: Better medical care in one country or maybe religious differences. He said, "Let me just tell you. These two countries are located right next to one another. Country A, 12% organ donors, is Germany. Austria, right next door, 99% organ donors." He said, "So what accounts for the difference?" They began to guess it, debate it over and over and over. And finally he said, "All their reasons were wrong." The real reason is quite boring and simple. It's structural and administrative. It goes like this: In Germany -- at least at the time the book was written -- you have to sign up. You have to opt in to be an organ donor. In Austria, you're automatically an organ donor and you have to opt out intentionally. Joel Smith, by the way, wants to begin that program here for our Children's Ministry. (Laughter) Where you're automatically in and then you have to opt out. The point of the book is the difference was administrative and organization; and sometimes just a slight tweak can make a significant difference. Those of you in the business world, you hear this all the time: You can't just work in your job. You have to work on it. You have to step back and say, "Okay. Let me work ON my job. Is there a way that it can be tweaked and improved how we approach this? A 5% improvement? 10:3 improvement? Let's work ON this and let me ask you to bring that same mind set into your family; into your ministry; into your class; into your group." So here you have the apostles and they said it's wonderful that we have more and more disciples, but we have some Grecian widows in this church. For some reason, they, as a group, have been overlooked, and THAT'S just not acceptable here. We've got to fix this problem. Thankfully, the church stepped up and helped out and they did. They faced the problem; they weren't defensive over it. It's a problem and has to be addressed. They delegated responsibility, and those to whom the responsibility was delegated, they stepped up and served beautifully. Hey, I've got one more point and it's just a closing exhortation and appreciation to you. It goes like this: Aim to be, aim to continue to be a person who's full of the Spirit and wisdom. To be that kind of person that says, "You know, we need someone who can be a problem solver here. For you to continue to be that person who's all in for Jesus, who's all in for God's people, and you're willing to be a problem solver, that you will serve with purpose. You will serve other people. you will solve problem and bring positive energy and will seek to be that kind of leader that says, "I am willing to accept responsibility. I'm willing to take initiative because I believe that God can do something through me." He can. My friend, He is. I'm grateful for you. God IS continuing to do something in you and through you. Tim Smith, would you make your way up here? As you serve and as you lead, whether it's in a smaller environment or a larger environment, continue to serve in and lead with diligence, with humility; but with the boldness of the Holy Spirit as well. Thank you for being with us today online. Thank you for being with us today in the room. May the Lord bless you and keep you. Tim, lead us in prayers, please. >> Tim: Good morning, church. It's great to be with you this morning. Let's pray. Lord, Your children approach Your throne room full of awe, respect, and confidence. God, Your creative design for Your church is an amazing part of Your glorious and generous provision for us. God, we acknowledge that YOU will establish Your purpose and are doing it today. Lord, may we be found faithful and effective carrying out Your mission for the pride of Christ in -- bride of Christ in this place. Lord, in the big picture, may we be faithful and effective globally across the years, the ages, the generations; across every cross-section. Lord, may we be faithful and effective. Lord, also in the important little picture of every interaction between Your people and every interpretation of Your Word and every class taught to a child, Lord, may we be faithful and effective. Lord, we've got to acknowledge it's natural for us to criticize and complain at times. God, would You confront us with the reality that often what is natural is of the flesh. Lord, help us instead to be people that are walking in the Spirit, controlled by the Spirit; driven by the things Jesus demonstrated: His love; self-sacrifice; and His tenacity. Where there are hearts of stone, Lord, would You not just soften them but would You transform them into hearts of flesh? Lord, where there are strained or broken relationships, would You not just make them a little better; but, God, would You transform them and activate the Spirit to reconcile and to restore, to make them better than they were before? And Lord, where there are talent and energy that You have given, Lord, You also create a willing Spirit of service motivated by love. Lord, where there are needs, may we be perceptive to see them and may we be energized and equipped to serve. Lord, we have to pause and we have to recognize and praise You for the unity and for the health which is characterized this church for years and years. Lord, we also have to pause and reflect on our own minds and our hearts, God, that there are parts of Your church around the world that are really strained. Lords we think very much of Ukraine at the moment. God, would You send Your healing grace upon those people? Lord, may we be the church as You designed it to be and all this for Your glory and for Your Name's Sake and not our own. In Christ's Name we pray, amen. >> Shane: Amen. Thank you, Tim. We have a few things to bring to your attention. We have Bible classes for all ages in the hour just before this one at 9:45 whether it's kids; teens; adults; we have a place for you to engage God's Word with other. Come to an Info Center in the lobby and let us know if you want to find your place. There's an online Bible class at 12:30 so if you're watching online, hang on. That's coming up. Ladies, take note of the Shauna's Table event on April 9 to 10:00 to noon. You will decorate Easter cookie and take them to my office. (Laughter) Then you will have some fellowship and fun after that. This is led by Shawna Tucker, the sister of Andrew Leeser. This is a $45 cost. Register online for Shawna's Table. Movie under the Moon is back and a fantastic outreach opportunity where we can be right with our neighbors across the street down here and just let people know about our Jesus, right? So we need volunteers. We need you to make it a great event so look at the calendar for when that's coming up. You can sign up online to make that a great outreach event. And finally today, we conclude our clothing drive with Second Mile Mission so if you have those bags of clothes you're donating, the truck is at the front porch. You can do that to 1:00 today, okay? Church, where will we find information and register station? Online on the website; absolutely. So after we do this next little song, you are not dismissed. You are released to ministry. You are sent into God's mission in the world, amen? So let's stand and sing and then let's be sent after that. ("Sing Wherever I Go playing.") >> Richard: Thank you, church, for worshiping today! You are dismissed!
