Great Church (5 of 6)
Series: Maximum Impact
Steve Jones
Acts 6
Sermon Summary: In order to live lives of maximum impact we need a ''team'' around us with common goals. For Christians, that ''team'' is the church. From Acts 6 we'll see three ways to ''Make the Church Great Again.''

2) Be Pro-Leadership.
3) Be Pro-God.
INTRO: Bumper video - Tom Brady interview Post AFC championship game between the Jags and Patriots. Tom gives credit to the team (1.21.18).
This much I know, Tom Brady is never going to achieve his goals unless he has a great team around him. In his 2018 post-AFC championship game interview, Brady used the word ''Team'' four times in less than two minutes. Football is a team sport and it takes great teamwork to win.

I have goals in the area of my family but because those family goals have a spiritual dimension I'm going to need a great church to accomplish them. I have financial goals but those financial goals ser ...
