Bringing Yourself and Others Back to Spiritual Strength | Carter Conlon

Published on: 7th May, 2025

Are We Standing Together or Standing Apart?

This sermon from 1 Corinthians 11:23-34 reminds us that our divided testimony weakens the Church's impact. Pastor Conlon highlights:

  • Christ offered forgiveness at his betrayal - showing unity even when abandoned
  • Our divisions (political, denominational, cultural) distract from our mission
  • Personal healing comes through choosing forgiveness over grievance
  • A unified Church across differences becomes a powerful witness to our divided world
  • When we gather for communion, we proclaim Christ's unifying sacrifice

Pastor Conlon shares his own story of reconciliation with someone who wounded him, demonstrating how peace begins with our choice to forgive as Christ forgave us.
