One of the biggest problems facing our culture today is the way in which we continuously subdivide ourselves into smaller and smaller tribes. People find themselves unable to "get along" with anyone who does not think exactly like they do. 

The church can often suffer from the same form of divisiveness. This is unfortunate because the true strength of the local church is found in its unity. A diverse group of people — all dwelling together in unity around the Gospel — can bring glory to God. 

Over the next few weeks we'll discuss how we are to remain unified within various convictions about cultural issues. The Apostle Paul was clear in his teachings to the early church and we can learn much from his principles and practices. 

Grab a friend and head over to Northside on Sunday morning for the launch of Pastor Stan's new Gray Matters series! We can't wait to see you!
