from Philippians 2:1-14
What is the witness of the church in a divided world? What is the witness of the church in a divisive political season? Is the witness wrapped up in supporting a given leader? In voting a given way and encouraging others to do so? Or is the witness of the church rooted in something much deeper…much more lasting? What if, considering Jesus’ words in his prayer recorded in John’s gospel, we find that our witness might be broader reaching and much more lasting by seeking together to live into who Jesus calls us to be…both as His hands and feet in this world, but also as a reflection of the fullness of Who God is as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit? Over the course of these few weeks we will consider the WHY and then some of the HOW we might seek to be Church Together in a divided time.
