Bible Text: 1 Peter 3:8-12 |

Series:

This morning we will discuss the power of unity and humility.

The reason why?  Because the world is becoming a divisive place.  Our culture is increasingly becoming polarized down political lines:

  • Conservativism versus socialism. Left versus right.
  • When we voluntarily divide ourselves according to ideology we elevate opinion over unity and we elevate self over community.

Our culture has politicized almost everything:

  • How we respond to a global pandemic has been politicized.
  • How we respond to racial oppression has been politicized.
  • Whether or not churches decide to open this weekend has been politicized.

Christians are called to be much more than political pundits:

  • We are supposed to transcend politics by love and unity.
  • We build bridges that find common ground and a common vision.
  • The world will not be transformed by political ideology.
  • It will be transformed when Christians truly live out the love of Jesus.
