There is no longer Jew or Greek, there is no longer slave or free,
there is no longer male or female; for all of you are one in Christ Jesus (Galatians 3:28)
We are currently having a really fun and engaging study at our Adult Forum on Sunday mornings. It is entitled, "Seeing Gray in a Black and White World: Thoughts on Religion, Morality, and Politics." This study was chosen to coincide with the months leading up to the presidential election intentionally.
I feel that we should not be shy about talking together about difficult issues in the church. As followers of Jesus, our unity in Him allows us to dare tread into the places and topics that could be divisive among us.
In Christ, our unity defines us amidst our diversity. And as we begin to embrace our unity in Christ, we find that our diversity is a gift. And as we embrace our unity and honor our diversity, then we built meaningful community.
Unity ... Diversity ... Community! All to be experienced within the fabric of God's love and grace!
Lord Jesus, may we always seek to find our unity in you and with each other. Amen.
