Unity Over Uniformity | Pastor Mike Mannes
from Southside Church Hosted by southsidelife.com
Somewhere along the way, we stopped being able to stand beside people who see the world differently than we do. Different politics, different opinions, and suddenly we decide we can't be on the same team. In this message Pastor Mike Mannes picks up the story in the book of Acts, where the early church faced the very same divide between insiders and outsiders. He draws a clear line between unity and its imposter, uniformity. Unity is all kinds of different people pulling together to build something beautiful. Uniformity says you can only belong if you are a carbon copy of me. One of those builds a church. The other tears it apart. Then Pastor Mike walks through the ancient words of the Apostles' Creed to name what actually holds followers of Jesus together. You are not an accident, you are His idea. Jesus defeated death by facing it. No matter how low you go, the end of yourself is the address of Jesus. Because in the end, there is far more that should pull us together than could ever tear us apart. And the best is yet to come.
