Listen "Diverse by Design"
Episode Synopsis
God's intentional design for the church includes diversity across all human distinctions, as demonstrated through Peter's transformative encounter with Cornelius in Acts 10. This pivotal moment challenged generations of cultural separation between Jews and Gentiles, revealing God's plan for inclusive salvation for all believers regardless of their background. The early church's paradigm shift serves as a model for modern congregations.True belief in Jesus extends beyond mere acknowledgment of historical facts or divine nature - it demands complete trust, personal transformation, and a distinctly different way of living. Today's churches are called to embrace diversity across cultures, generations, economic backgrounds, and family structures while maintaining unity in worship. However, many congregations struggle with unconscious social divisions, comfort zones that limit integration, and resistance to different worship expressions. The path forward requires intentional effort to connect across differences and truly embrace God's diverse design for His church.Acts 10-11🌐 Websitehttps://theshed.church📘 Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/TheShedatProvence📷 Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/theshed.church🎵 TikTokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@theshed.church📺 YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/@TheShedatProvence
