In this chapter reference is made to the principles of Christian leadership in the early church, a duty and being of what is the essence of a church.
The growth of the church needs organization and delegation of responsibilities, the leadership in the church must be filled with the Holy Spirit and wisdom.
Prayer and the ministry of the word must always be the first priority for the leadership of the church.
The task of distributing food and clothing to the widows and the needy of the church increased gradually, these women did not have other means for their economic and physical support, taking care of them was a legitimate obligation of the church, the money for their support it came from the fund created by the sales of properties and offerings.
A continuous and growing program like this can be overwhelming.
The apostles were aware of two things: first, this was a task that could not be abandoned, second, other leaders, apart from the twelve, would have to take charge of the "daily distribution" program
For the apostles there was a ministerial activity that had priority. They ewran spiritual leaders of the church and should be continuously engaged in teaching and preaching, their spiritual ministry could be weakened if they were engaged in material chores.
This church was demonstrating the qualities necessary for material and spiritual service.
