Sunday Evening
FROM LEON SANDERSON
Unity in the Midst of Discord
On a recent Sunday evening, Rusty Adair preached an excellent sermon relating to
conflict resolution. His expertise stems from a specific inquiry in about 3000 interviews:
tell me about a time when conflict arose and how you handled it. Read on for what he
said.
How does the church show unity in a world where everything around us discourages
it? How do we maintain peace and not allow the cultural norms around us to drive the
church’s culture? There are three simple concepts that can transform our relationships
in the church.
•
Listen - One of the turning points in the church is the debate in Acts 15 over
whether Gentile Christians had to be circumcised. The dialogue in this chapter
indicates a willingness for each side to listen to the position of the other. Most
conflict is exacerbated by a failure to listen to each other. Covey said it this way,
“Seek first to understand and then to be understood.”
•
Put the needs of others first - In Philemon, Paul deals with a conflict between two
church members. He addresses it by suggesting that they should have the same
attitude as Christ, who humbled himself to the point of death for others. From the
Golden Rule to the Greatest Command, a central theme of Scripture is to put the
needs of other people before our own needs. That simple statement by itself has
the power to change the world.
•
Focus on what counts - In Ephesians 2, Paul writes that in Christ, God made one
new race out of the two (Jews and Gentiles). He is our peace. In Philemon, he
reminds the Master that his former slave is now a brother in Christ. We tend to
concentrate on the things that divide us, but the key to unity is to never forget the
one thing we have in common - the cross of Christ unites us.
5 p.m. CHAPEL........................................................ Worship Leader: Greg Muse
Welcome / Scripture Reading (Matt. 16:24-25) / Prayer......................Frank Freese
Songs: 666 - I Am Thine, O Lord
678 - More About Jesus
671 - Purer In Heart, O God
“We will walk in the name of the Lord our God” (Micah 4:1-5)........... Rodney Plunket
Song: 664 - Take My Life, and Let It Be
Lord’s Supper & Offering.......................................................................... Lloyd Berry
Song: 701 - My Jesus, I Love Thee
Prayer........................................................................................................ Jim Greene
Thank you to Greg Muse for leading worship this evening while
Leon is in Jonesboro, Arkansas, leading an area-wide singing.
The dividing wall of hostility has been torn down. May the church transform the way
the world deals with each other.

Jack P. Lewis Christian Studies Seminar
Our Adult Education Ministry has planned a special opportunity for us all to develop
