Above the Divide
by Paula Dannielle
There's nothing like division to make a movement powerless, and the Church is no exception. From voting, who can serve in leadership, or how senior pastors and associates work together, the Church has several places where we need to find common ground to point to a loving Savior. Jesus prayed that we might be one, even as he and the Father were one, so the world would know him. Above the Divide is here to help us reach that goal. To be one. To be unified. To show love in such a powerful way that the world sees God!
