"Getting Along (Part 1)" // Romans 12:14-16 (Sunday 10/29/23)

Getting along...is sometimes hard, right?! Even the most devout Jesus followers have been disagreeing with each other for thousands of years…conflict in community is nothing new. Social media has exasperated it, but it’s always been there. When Romans was written, the first Christians were arguing about eating meat, celebrating certain holidays, and drinking wine… What issues do Christians debate today? Some of those old debates are still around, but nowadays the hot topics are: politics, the pandemic, climate change, nationalism, lifestyle choices, what Jesus’ grace really means for us, views about signs and wonders, or a perspective on the Holy Spirit. What attitude should we have toward others who don’t think like us or believe the same things? Disagreements can be very charged and polarizing these days. What about when we have “haters” out there? “Haters gonna hate," right? This Sunday, we look at Romans 12:14-16. This is the way to get along with others - and it's only possible through the grace of God! 10am - Arcata Veterans Hall
