Our Diversity, Our Strength
What makes an idea catch fire? A team of researchers analyzed more than 65 million studies to find out—and what they discovered has everything to do with how we understand the Holy Spirit, the birth of the church, and the world we’re called to build. This sermon weaves together groundbreaking science and ancient scripture to reveal a truth as urgent now as ever: our strength lies not in sameness, but in difference.
Scripture References: Acts 2:1-21
From Series: "Wonderfully Made"
This Pride Month, we’re diving into a sermon series that celebrates the full beauty and complexity of how we’re made. Wonderfully Made is a declaration against shame, silence, and exclusion—a bold reclaiming of the truth that every body and every identity bears God’s image. Whether you’ve been embraced by faith or wounded by it, this series is for you. Together, we’ll explore scripture’s deep affirmation of queer lives, challenge the Church’s complicity in harm, and name the sacred worth that’s already in you. Because you’re not just welcome here—you’re a reflection of divine creativity.
