How to Find the Right Hills to Die On | Acts 15:1–21 | Landon Reynolds

What hills are worth dying on—and which ones are tearing the church apart? In this message from our series through Acts, Pastor Landon Reynolds teaches from Acts 15:1–21 and unpacks one of the most pivotal moments in the early church. Faced with deep disagreement, the apostles refused to compromise the Gospel while also refusing to divide over issues that weren't essential. Their wisdom provides a roadmap for Christians navigating an increasingly polarized world today. From theological debates to cultural controversies, it's easy to make every issue a battle. But Acts 15 reminds us that not every hill is worth dying on. The Gospel is worth everything. Many other issues require wisdom, humility, and unity. In this message, you'll learn: ✅ How to distinguish Gospel issues from secondary and tertiary issues ✅ Why the early church fought for truth without sacrificing unity ✅ What theological triage is—and how it helps Christians navigate disagreement ✅ How to know when to die, divide, debate, or simply decide ✅ Why a unified church is one of the greatest threats to the enemy 🛠️ Bottomline: Find the right hills to die on. 📖 Teaching Text: Acts 15:1–21 🎉 Series: Acts of the Holy Spirit 📍 Recorded: Sunday, July 12, 2026 | Sunday Gatherings at Local Church Knoxville 🔔 Subscribe for more disciple-making content from Local Church Knoxville. 💬 Comment below: What truth do you believe every Christian should never compromise? 🌐 Learn more or take a next step: localchurchknox.com #Acts15 #FindTheRightHills #ActsOfTheHolySpirit #TheologicalTriage #GospelUnity #LocalChurchKnoxville #LandonReynolds #MakeDisciples #ChristianUnity #GraceAlone #FaithAlone #ChurchLeadership
