3 Recent Challenges: Pandemic, Social Upheaval, Political Turmoil
Threat: Division
It’s about relationships, not religion (Mark 12:28-31)
It’s about our relationship with God and our relationship with others, not either-or
3 Keys to Healthy Relationships with Other Christians:
Intentional Connection (Heb 10:24-25)
Don’t forget about the 20+ “One Anothers”
Relentless Reconciliation (Luke 11:4, Matt 5:23-24, 18:5)
Who is responsible to act? You! (Rom 12:18)
Reproductive DNA:PBT chains
We need a Paul: A mentor to share wisdom and show the way (1 Cor 4:15-16)
We need a Barnabas: A friend with permission to encourage and challenge us (Acts 4:36)
We need a Timothy: a disciple we are speaking into and coaching along the way (1 Tim 1:1-2)
PBT chains are not accidental; you must seek them out and intentionally multiply them
“We must all hang together, or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately” – B. Franklin
