In Romans, Paul has been teaching us about the unity of the Body of Christ—not as uniformity, but as a recognition of our God-given differences, which can span everything from political affiliation to personal preferences.

Guest speaker, Pastor Kevin Brown, brings a message that he prays will leave us encouraged, “rattle our cage”, and cause God to take up more residence in our heart. Everything that we have is borrowed, it all belongs to God and we steward it for Him. It’s not enough that we hear truth from pastors, leaders in the church, and small groups… we need to apply it to our lives. And that means we have to take action!

Pastor Kevin Brown is lead pastor and co-founder of the Perfecting Ministries. Let’s listen in…
