Every church, because it is made up of people, is going to have people with opinions that differ. It is a fact of life! It is a reality that we cannot escape. Opinions differ for several reasons:a. Different cultural up-bringing.b. Different religious backgrounds.c. Different convictions and preferences.d. Different social experiences before salvation.Such was true in the early churches! Two churches in particular (Rome and Corinth) had this problem because Paul addressed it in his letters to them. In Romans and 1 Corinthians Paul gave clear instructions on how to live authentically when opinions differ. This morning I invite you to the book of Romans to learn how to deal with this problem from the pen of the apostle Paul.

Authentic Christianity: Pursing Holiness
May 19, 2013 • Pastor Ron Finch
As I closed my message last week one of the comments I made was, “God has not called us to a life of HAPPINESS, but HOLINESS!” God has one goal for each of us who are saved (justified by faith) — conformity to the image of His Son, Jesus! (Rom. 8:29) Another way this can be stated is, “a transformation unto holiness!” (Eph. 1:4,“chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before Him!”) (Col. 1:22, “He has now reconciled in His body of flesh by death, in order to present you holy and blameless ... before Him.”) Unfortunately, most churches across America today are more interested in ministering to the “felt needs” of people than calling them to a life of holiness. They are more focused upon being “happy” than being “holy!”Let me be clear —
Authentic Christianity When Opinions differ (Part 2)
May 5, 2013 • Pastor Ron Finch
Last week we began to look at living authentically when opinions differ. Believe me, opinions do differ even among believers! We all come from different cultures, different religious backgrounds, different personal experiences prior to our salvation, and ______. So, how do we live to the glory of God as a church body and before a watching world with our differences? We turn to God’s Word for answers! The apostle Paul, because he lived among people like us who had differences, gave us some great Godly advice in Romans 14, 15 and 1 Corinthians 8-10. Let’s go back to those passages as we continue our study.
Authentic Christianity When Worry Knocks!
April 21, 2013 • Pastor Ron Finch
Someone said, “Nothing in us so defiles and destroys the beauty of the glory of living as do emotions.” Such is true of worry! It can devastate and incapacitate a person. I know this from personal experience, and I’m sure many of you have too! As I survey this emotion in God’s Word I never, yes NEVER find it to be seen in a favorable light. Worry is something that must NOT be part of a believer’s life, and the good-news is that it does not have to be! Come with me this morning to see what God says about worry and how, as a Christian, we can have victory over it when it comes knocking.
