“Factions & Family” (Acts 11:1-30)

What happens when people join our church who are different than we are? How should we react when other believers have different preferences or opinions about various matters than we do? Are Christians allowed to associate with people who aren’t like them?

In his sermon, “Factions & Family,” centered on Acts 11:1-30, Pastor Jeff Winters (Guest Preacher) addressed these questions as he shared how as Christians, we are commanded to share the good news of Jesus Christ with everyone and be obedient to the Spirit’s leading as Jesus saves a people for himself.

In the Church of Christ there is no such thing as second-class members. As believers, each one of us has been redeemed by Christ regardless of our differences. Therefore, we should ensure that there are no isolating factions or destructive behaviors among our brothers and sisters but rather be committed to following Jesus as a faithful family of believers.

We pray you are blessed by this sermon!
