About this listen

 How do you feel when you hear the words "conflict," "disagreement," and "debate"? Probably not too excited! The Acts of the Apostles, however, shows us how conflict and debate are signs of health in the church when we engage in them in the way Christ intended. Acts displays conflict in a new light and points a way forward for healthy and productive debate in the church. In Acts 15, we see the church facing unprecedented questions and challenges as the gospel continues to spread to new frontiers. As the church grows in number, a new community is taking shape that represents an immense diversity of backgrounds, ethnicities, and experiences. What will hold together this growing movement of diverse Christians as they navigate multiple cultures and beliefs? What will be their anchor as their customs and traditions are challenged in light of God's redemptive acts? How will they work through sharp disagreement and difference while maintaining unity and peace? What will their engagement in healthy conflict proclaim to the watching world? These questions are just as important and prevalent for Grace & Peace today as they were for the church in the very beginning! Come join us this Sunday to discover how only the gospel can provide true unity in diversity.
