1. Divided: Part of Each Other

This weekend we begin a new series called DIVIDED. We live in a divided world and it seems that we are being pulled further apart all the time. The good news is God has a plan to bring people together in a divided world. His plan is called the Church. Jesus started the church with a group of disciples who were not drawn to each other naturally. The early church became the most diverse group of people in the known world. The reason this could happen was the example of Jesus and the instructions found in the Bible. God's plan for harmony and peace in a divided world is real and it works. So how do we ensure that our church lives out this same dynamic? How do we ensure that we are Being The Church? We first learn and then follow the teachings in scripture on how to relate to each other. In this series we will examine the "One Another" passages in the Bible. These passages are full of instructions on the nature of our relationship to each other. They tell us how we are to support each other. We will also learn how we are to help each other grow and finally how together we can accomplish the mission Jesus gave us. This week we begin with the nature of our relationship. The Bible tells us that in the church we actually are so connected that we Belong to Each Other. Join us this weekend as we learn how to move from being Divided to being United.
