Men of Good Reputation, Full of the Spirit, and Wise

hurch growth created issues for the early church. A particular group, Hellenistic widows, in the church in Jerusalem were underserved. The apostle’s wisdom called for the people of the church to solve the problem by selecting men of specific character to serve in a special capacity. One of the men, Stephen, was called upon by God to be the first martyr of the church, setting the stage for the church to expand outside of Jerusalem.
