The Big IF: If we could only agree

Sermon By Pastor Corky Calhoun

I think all of us would agree that we live in a time of great cultural division and disunity and it is pounding on the shores of the church all the time. We live in an age of individualism that no longer see's sacrifice for others as a noble endeavor. And yet, this is the very nature of what it means to be a Disciple. If you haven't figured it out yet... I am a UNITY freak. I see division as a tool of the enemy to break and tear apart the local church and families. I have been blessed for many years by my friendship with Titus Green, Sr. Pastor at First Baptist Merritt Island. The rumors of Bromance are real. He is Baptist and I am Methodist, but we have been committed to let our relationship be defined by our mutual love for Jesus and not any denominational nuances. The end result is together we are making an Impact in our community for Christ! Listen, I find that if we can agree on Christ, agree on who he is, agree on what his love looks like, agree to follow him at all costs, then we can find a box for our differences. Again, I am not naive but I do believe that we can do more together united in Christ than any one of us could ever do alone, and God designed it this way. Lastly, I have discovered that we can't begin to fight evil until we are done fighting with each other. And this truth applies to our marriages, our parenting commitments, our vocations and especially our faith! Join us Sunday as we look at this idea of teamwork and unity, remembering our greatest common denominator is Jesus Christ!
