Summary

(Acts 6:1-8) Everything is not "my business." We each have our assignment from God. In the local church, the business of deacons is to help both the pastor and the people. Not all of us will be deacons, but all of us can become servants. (07055230306) Join Scott Pauley's study through Scripture this year.
