3-2-1 Leadership. Indivisible. 10.20.24.

October 30, 2024 2:37 PM

My First paragraph with bold text.

3 Ideas to Equip & Inspire:
  1. Unity Begins Under God (Luke 11:17): A kingdom divided cannot stand, and the same is true for God's Church. No matter what’s happening in politics, we are called to be indivisible and united under Christ. Our allegiance isn’t to a party first but to the one who holds eternity first. We unite on MISSION, not METHODS! How are you leading and living in a way that shows unity under God?
  2. Policies Over Personalities: While no candidate is perfect, we vote based on biblical values, not personalities. The world is deeply divided, but we must unite on key biblical issues— sanctity of life, protection of family, religious freedom, protection of biblical view of sex and gender, and support of Israel. Let’s focus on policies that reflect God's heart, even when we may not agree with everything about a person. How can you approach this election season with wisdom and grace?
  3. Love Like Jesus Loved (John 13:34-35): Jesus didn’t say the world will know us by how right we are; He said they’ll know us by how we love. In a divided culture, we must lead with love, even when we disagree. Our mission unites us, and that mission is to show the world the love and grace of Jesus. How are you loving radically in this season?
2 Quotes to reflect on:
  1. “Our mission is too important, and time is too short. We may not all agree politically, but we must be united spiritually.” — From this week's message
  2. “When we pick a side, we divide. Love bridges the gap of division. Regardless of which direction we vote, let's LOVE DOWN THE MIDDLE” —From this week's message
1 Question to Act On:
  1. In what areas of your life or leadership do you need to focus more on unity, love, and living “Under God” during this political season? Is it hard to love those who live or vote differently than you?
