What if your greatest work isn’t the loudest or most visible—but the most faithful? This sermon explores the early church’s first internal conflict and how it led to the creation of the diaconate and care ministry. Drawing from Acts 6:1–8, we discover that meaningful service—like waiting tables or preparing Communion—is not only sacred, it’s the kind of work that transforms us. From Stephen and Philip in the Book of Acts to the Stephen Ministers and deacons in today’s church, “great work” begins with the willingness to serve others well.
