“Though we cannot think alike, may we not love alike? May we not be of one heart, though we are not of one opinion? Without all doubt, we may. Herein all the children of God may unite, notwithstanding these smaller differences.” —John Wesley
In our world, community is often defined by sameness, but God has called us to be a different community. Today we dig into 1 Peter 2:9-12; 3:8-10, and see why unity is so much more than sameness.
Sameness is sanitized; Unity is messy
Sameness is comfortable; Unity is uncomfortable
Sameness is about auto-pilot; Unity is about the Holy Spirit
Sameness is about silos; Unity is about building bridges.
Sameness is for everyone else; unity is for God's people...A different community.
