Diversity is beautiful0

This Sunday’s sermon was part 3 of 5 in the current series on some of our core values.  The theme was our passion to build a church made up of people from different races, languages, age groups and cultures.  I spoke from Ephesians Chapter 2 on how Jesus brings together diverse groups and builds them into ‘One New Man’.

Part of the application during the sermon was to educate ourselves about the reality of conflict and tension between different groups and I recommended watching some films that explore this theme with people from diverse backgrounds.  The films were Crash, Babel, Freedom Writers, Remember the Titans and… Save the Last Dance (something for everyone).  Crash and Babel are quite intense so watch out if you are of sensitive disposition!
