1 Corinthians 12:14 - For the body does not consist of one member but of many.
Acts 6:1-2,6 - Now in these days when the disciples were increasing in number, a complaint by the Hellenists arose against the Hebrews because their widows were being neglected in the daily distribution. And the twelve summoned the full number of the disciples and said, “It is not right that we should give up preaching the word of God to serve tables…These they set before the apostles, and they prayed and laid their hands on them.
Application:
· It is the church’s responsibility to help widows who have no one to care for them.
· As a church grows, the church leaders cannot minister the word and take care of the needy by themselves.
· Those chosen to minister to the needy need to be commissioned through prayer and the laying on of hands
