The explosive growth of the church in Jerusalem led to the first threat of division between two groups, as recorded in Acts 6:1-7. Wisely the apostles recommended that the church choose a few good men to handle the urgent need that had arisen. These seven men freed up the apostles to preach and pray, and the church grew even more. The threat to unity and the way the church handled it can teach us how we also can maintain unity and promote continued growth in our church.
In Daniel 2, a problem arose because of the absence of the gods among humans, but the true God showed himself through a human.
The demons revealed that their only purpose is to destroy, while Jesus demonstrated his power to heal and restore.
Daniel urgently asked God to keep his own promises for the glory of his own name.
