Welcome Graham fam! We are so glad you could watch Sunday morning online with us.

In this message, we explore the importance of valuing the differences in others to build a strong, unified church that glorifies God.

Key Scripture

• Romans 14:19-22





• Romans 15:1-9

Sermon Outline

1. You Must Aim for Harmony!
   
   
   
   • Just like any skill, creating harmony and unity within the church requires intentionality and focus. If you don’t aim for it, you won’t achieve it. Every action, word, and thought matters in building each other up.
   
   
   
   





2. If You Tear Others Down, You Tear God’s Work Down!
   
   
   
   • Everyone is made in the image of God. When we attack fellow believers over differences, we risk tearing apart the very work of God. Instead of tearing them down, we should pray for them, lifting them up so they can serve God faithfully.
   
   
   
   
   
   • Scripture Reference: Mark 9:38-40
   
   
   
   





3. Our Desire Should Be to Help!
   
   
   
   • When disagreements arise, our first instinct should be to help, not to correct with a prideful attitude. We are called to come alongside others with humility to build them up in their walk with Christ.
   
   
   
   
   
   • Scripture Reference: Galatians 6:3
   
   
   
   





4. We Must Accept One Another!
   
   
   
   • Following Christ’s example, we are called to accept each other, not based on uniformity, but on our shared faith. This acceptance creates an environment where we can live in harmony, join together in one voice, and serve one another effectively.
   
   
   
   





5. Our Differences Are a Blessing!
   
   
   
   • God created each of us to be unique. Our different backgrounds, stories, and qualities are not mistakes; they are blessings designed to bring glory and honor to His name. These differences allow us to reach people for Christ in ways no one else can.
   
   
   
   

Closing Thought

Our greatest witness to the world is not an absence of differences, but the power of God to unite incredibly different people into one body with one voice to glorify Him.
