The 6Ws

Posted by Pastor on June 11, 2010

6WsThe “6Ws” are important to any church.  Luke presents these qualities in the summary passage of Acts 2:42-47.  Whenever Luke gives an extended summary like this, he describes the internal workings of the Spirit-filled church.  While the cultural expressions may change, these summaries should reflect what a Spirit-filled church is like in any age.

In Acts 2:42-47, we see that the Spirit-filled church was devoted to four things and habitually practiced two ministries.  Sometimes these are referred to as purposes or characteristics.  I like to think of them as functions - this is what a Spirit-filled church does.  The first church was devoted to discipleship, fellowship, worship, and prayer.  They practiced public ministry and evangelism.  Many churches further refine these six things down to three – Ministry to God, Ministry to One Another, Ministry to the World.  I like this classification and group the functions accordingly, but since Acts describes them as more than 3, I teach them as six.
