The Power of Love Week 4 | Deep Dive “Mature Love”
The Power of Love: Embracing Open Communication in the Church
In the journey to foster a mature and unified church, Pastor Brad’s fourth sermon in “The Power of Love” series shines a light on a crucial step: fostering open communication. This foundational step is about creating an environment where every church member feels valued and heard, where sharing thoughts, experiences, and concerns is not just welcomed but encouraged.
The historical backdrop of The Great Schism serves as a poignant reminder of the fractures that can occur without strong communication. It underscores the necessity for today’s church to learn from the past and strive for unity through dialogue that transcends denominational lines.
As we reflect on the importance of open communication, let’s remember that it is Jesus Christ and the shared doctrinal beliefs that bind the Christian community together. It’s through understanding and empathy that a church can grow not just in numbers, but in spiritual maturity.
Join us next Sunday, September 1, a perfect time to continue exploring the transformative power of love in our lives and communities as we take Communion together. Let’s come together to celebrate what unites us and embark on a path toward a more connected and compassionate church.
