How gracious would you be? Would you listen to the complaint without being defensive? Would you admit you were not coping? Would you make yourself vulnerable at a time of attack? Would you let others handle the problem? Would you accept their solution even though it sounded unfair? Would you support the solution?

The Spirit uses Grace Grace to minister together Grace to be gracious All ministries (forms of service) are equally valid Grace to be gracious Grace demands integrity People chosen had to be full of the Spirit and wisdom

Consequences of Grace The word of God spread The numbers coming to faith increased rapidly A large number of priests became obedient to the faith

God works through difficult times The Holy Spirit works through grace but we may not like the changes
