First Covenant Church

So, there are fewer things that can destroy a church so easily as congregational disunity.  It can start small, just a crack in the dam, and then the floodwalls burst, churches split, feelings are crushed, and Christians once again are seen from the outside as no different from the rest of the population.

Yet there are hundreds of ways in which we are called to unite.  We are called to be one body, we are called to reconcile our differences with each other before praising God, we are called to be salt and light that battle against injustice, not against each other.

This week we are going to discuss what this unity looks like and how to deal with the bumps along the way that come with living and working within a community of people with different views and different ideas.  We will see how the early church dealt with disunity in order to bring together people not tear them apart.  When the church is united, it is then they can go out and be the transformative agent that we are called to be.
