It’s been a hard week for our country.

It’s painfully obvious again that our country is deeply divided—politically, but also in many other ways.

As a church, we don’t have all the answers. We don’t know the way forward. We don’t know what lies ahead. We love America—so we are frustrated, disappointed, broken, & hoping for answers.

UNITY IN JESUS CHRIST

When we gather each Sunday, we gather to remind one another that we are citizens of another country—our home country—& are united by the precious blood of Jesus Christ.

No where in Scripture is this unity captured more powerfully than Ephesians 4:

There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call—one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. Ephesians 4:4-6

This unity is only possible through the death & resurrection of Jesus Christ. And it’s a unity that is deeper than family & country.

SERMON ON “DISPUTABLE MATTERS”

In times like these, where there is so much division around us, it’s vital for us as a church to look to & maintain the unity we share in Jesus Christ.

We may not agree as a church on how to raise our children or how to handle our liberties. We may not agree on how to handle a pandemic or what America needs to do next. We may not agree on those things & many other things. But, we do agree on the most important thing—the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ!

Along these lines, I (Walt) recommend a message for you to listen to.

Last Sunday, my mentor & former pastor Bill Kittrell preached a message on Romans 14 entitled “Disputable Matters” [link]. Consider giving it a listen! I think you will find it helpful & instructive!
