Protecting the Priorities of the Church

About this episode

Pastor Micah Lugg discusses how a growing church can maintain its priorities amidst internal pressures, as illustrated in Acts 6:1–7.

Micah Lugg | In Acts 6:1–7, a growing church faces internal pressure that threatens to pull it away from its God-given mission. In this sermon, Pastor Micah Lugg shows that the greatest danger is not merely conflict itself, but allowing good needs to displace ultimate priorities. The apostles respond by establishing order according to God’s design—preserving their devotion to the ministry of the Word and prayer, while appointing qualified men to serve the body. In doing so, they demonstrate that Christ builds His church not through disorder or distraction, but through faithful adherence to His means. _________________________
