Sacred Differences - pt 3 (Gender)

Sacred Differences - Series Setup.001.jpeg

Join us for our new series Sacred Differences, where we explore the vision for diversity, unity and reconciliation in the Kingdom of God. This week Dan and Alisha tag-team a talk on gender difference in the church, together framing up some of the issues that have been experienced and then painting a picture for a vision of the future.

God didn’t create a world where one gender can flourish at the expense of the other. In God’s world, the true flourishing of one depends on and promotes the full flourishing of the other. In fact, God’s kingdom purposes for the world hinge on how well we both flourish and pull together to serve him.

This week Dan teaches on the removal of the social ladder in the early church and we hear from a couple of our own with their story of the gift of difference amongst each other.

In Christ we now have a flattened reality to live in together.

Sacred Differences: Series setup

Sacred Differences - Series Setup.001.jpeg

Join us for our new series Sacred Differences, where we explore the vision for diversity, unity and reconciliation in the Kingdom of God. We begin with Dan Sheed sharing on the scriptural movement from the chosen people of God to the open and diverse church, and what that means for us today.

So often, our vision of a dream church is a dream of more people like us. Is this really the full expression of the community following Jesus?
