UNITED: The Priorities of the Church // Acts 6:1-7

📖 The Priorities of the Church | Acts 6:1–7 | Heritage Church Sermon | 2025-05-25How does the church stay on course through change, challenge, and growth? In this powerful sermon from Acts 6, we explore how the early church navigated internal tensions and external storms by clinging to its God-given priorities. As Heritage Church steps into new seasons—whether in governance, missions, or ministry—we look to Scripture to remind us what truly matters.Pastor Nathan unpacks 7 core principles:1. The journey of the church is filled with storms.2. God uses those storms to grow His church in depth and beauty.3. Growth brings challenges that test our unity and compassion.4. Challenges test our priorities—what are we truly committed to?5. Priorities must be reflected in how we organize the church.6. A well-organized church multiplies the Word and disciples.7. A church on course produces Word-loving disciples who are faithful—even unto death.Stephen’s martyrdom in Acts 7 reminds us that faithfulness sometimes leads to sacrifice—but always ends in glory. Jesus stands to welcome His saints home.👀 Whether you're part of our Heritage family or just exploring, we invite you to watch, reflect, and consider how God is calling you to be part of building His Church.🔔 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and share this message!📌 Scripture: Acts 6:1–7; Acts 7:54–60📌 Main Theme: Staying on mission by organizing around God’s priorities📌 Speaker: Dr. Nathan Smith📌 Date: May 25, 2025#Acts6 #ChurchLeadership #ChristianUnity #Sermon #Discipleship #HeritageChurch
