In the first of three segments Justin and I kick around a few points from Msg 15 (Rom 15), most notably the utter necessity of humility in any degree of real unity.

Adam and I wrap up our conversation out of Rom 16...being "established" in Christ. One way of putting it is, "Being established in Christ, is being okay, no matter what." Are you?

The diverse inclusiveness of the gospel, particularly with regard to women, is groundbreaking...like an earthquake is groundbreaking. Not only was Paul on mission to breakdown national/entho boundaries with [re]gard to God's people, but gender, economic, and any other characteristic formerly dreamed up to divide humanity...

This is the first 7min of 21min with Adam Heath [re]garding the 3/20/21 Sunday teaching in Romans 16:25-27.

The best stuff in life takes time...lot's of time.  Towering trees, resplendent marriages...and other such things.

How well the pastoral staff equip the church to be the church may be the make or break issue over the next 10 years...

What's happening this summer?? Well, we're adding more weekly in-person services in the NC facility, organizing a few opportunities to connect with city partners, and in pursuit of some permanent space for services in the NW...

Zero-sum conflicts and a manipulative barrage of lies are part of a sophisticated strategy to divide people and consolidate power. As a people committed to living in the light, embracing truth, and valuing unity amidst great diversity, it's imperative for Christians to see what's going on and learn how to do something about it.
