Thank you for your worship this morning. Let's be seated together and share communion this morning. >> Good morning, church. My name is Drew. This is my youngest, Liam. Whether you're joining us online or whether you're here with us worshiping with us today, we're going to lead you with the communion thoughts and the bread which represents Jesus mind and body. Pray with me. Dear Lord, we come before you and acknowledge you as the savior of our life and the perfect sacrifice for our sins, God. Thank you so much just for your love that you showed for us on the cross, Lord, just coming down to this earth, Lord. Just being beaten, being bruised, being mocked, just all the things that you had to endure for us, Lord, we're so very grateful for that, God. Thank you for that love. Lord, I pray that as we take this bread, Lord, I pray that you help us to remember that sacrifice, help us to remember that broken body, God. Help us to take it in a manner that is worthy to you and let us never forget that sacrifice, God, and it is in Jesus' name that we pray, amen. Let us take the bread together. >> Today I will be reading from Isaiah 1:17-18 Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed. Take up the cause of the fatherless; Plead the case of the widow. “Come now, let us settle the matter,” Says the Lord. “Though your sins are like scarlet, They shall be as white as snow; Though they are red as crimson, They shall be like wool. >> Now, will you join me in the prayer for the cup which represents Jesus' bloodshed for us. Dear Lord in heaven, we come before you again, God. Thank you so much for the power of your blood. Lord, we know that the animal sacrifices were not able to just cover our sins forever and we're so grateful for the plan that you had, God. Thank you for the power of baptism and thank you for the blood that was shed for us on the cross, God. We acknowledge that our sins are scarlet, God, but your blood makes us white as snow. Thank you for the power of that and help us to remember that and that blood that flowed down so freely. Thank you for your son and it is in Jesus' name that we pray. Amen. Let us take the cup together. ♫ "Shield About Me" ♫ >> Shane: Amen. Hallelujah. There is no freedom we have like the freedom we get in Jesus, amen. Freedom and Christ and celebrating that after communion, what a beautiful thing. We're going to pray over our offering. You can give online, you can text to give and give at the offering boxes at the back of the room. We believe God has called us all to be givers and to bless others like we have been blessed by the Lord with our time and money and abilities. We partner with God and his mission in the world as we give towards his ministry. Would you pray with me over this offering. Father, God, all that we have is yours. God, we give these offerings not out of a sense of obligation, God, but out of gratitude, gratitude and Thanksgiving for what you have done for us. Gratitude and joy because you have given us all good things. We ask that you use these offerings. May the name of Jesus be lifted up and we pray in Jesus' name. >> Joel: Amen. Good morning, everyone. It is so good to be with you on this 3rd of July. If you're a kid you're special and if you're an adult you're special, but we love kids. We want a visual lasting impact. It is the 3rd of July and tomorrow the 4th of July. I wanted an illustration that included the 4th of July as well as we're here to celebrate Christ. So I have a candle and this candle will be balanced in theory in between these two glasses. And it's interesting, when the signers of the declaration of independence signed the declaration, they weren't -- we weren't instantly a free nation. It took many years and battles and people sacrificed their lives and their lands to get to where we are today. They handed us a gift and that gift is freedom. In the same way we as believers have been handed a gift in Jesus Christ. We're here to celebrate Jesus Christ and the fact he has given us a gift of freedom, but what's interesting is that gift of freedom needs to be in balance. My illustration -- you know, I didn't bring a backup today. What are the odds? There it goes. So we're given freedom, but we're also given responsibility. And what's cool is in this case if you burn a candle at both ends, it will teeter-totter. I want to tell you my verse from Galatians 5:13. It says: You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free, but do not use your freedom to indulge in the flesh, but rather serve one another in humble love. So the thing with freedom is that it's very possible to get out of balance where on one hand we're focusing on freedom and when freedom is totally out of balance and there's just free to do whatever you want, even what's wrong, things begin to teeter-totter. And in the same way, God has given us responsibility what to do. When you focus on the authoritarian side, things also get out of balance. And so because I have two friends here and they happen to not be children that love fire, we had to include some extra fire and I wanted to make today about a warning and that warning is about selfishness. Selfishness will take our freedom and our responsibility and put it out of order. So I have some flames that make a big poof, which is kind of cool. And if I do it over and over, the place will smell. It will be really cool, but eventually I'll put out one of my candles which is like that. You can see, once one of the candles is out, gradually wax will go from one side -- I didn't mean to do that -- there you go and it comes out of balance. My desire for you would be that you are in balance. Ultimately in Galatians 5 it continues with the fruit of the spirit. We are to have love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, gentleness and self-control. And that is how we take our freedom, we balance it with responsibility and we show the world God's love. That's my prayer for you. Thank you very much. ♫ Oh beautiful for spacious sky s ♫ ♫ Oh beautiful for heroes proved ♫ In liberating strife ♫ Who more than self, their ♫ country loved ♫ And mercy more than life ♫ ♫ America, America may God thy gold refine 'Til all success be nobleness And every gain divined And you know when I was in school We used to sing it something like this, listen here Oh beautiful, for spacious skies For amber waves of grain For purple mountain majesties Above the fruited plain But now wait a minute, I'm talking about America, sweet America You know, God done shed his grace on thee He crowned thy good, yes he did, in brotherhood From sea to shining sea >> Shane: Happy 4th of July weekend, First Colony Church of Christ.

Let's stand and greet each other. ♫ "The Great Redeemer" ♫ >> Kyle: Thank you for your worship, church. Let us be seated this morning. >> Ronnie: Thank you so much, Kyle and team. We appreciate the great way you've led us this morning. Great to see you, we appreciate your flexibility timing-wise. Happy July 4 weekend to everyone. And those of you worshiping online, so glad to have you with us today as well. You'll hear more about this in just a bit. We have lunch available for you today and hope you'll stay and enjoy that. I think there are some really good options and that will be all explained to you here at the close of our service. In our Bible-teaching time today we are in a new message series from the New Testament book of Acts under the heading: Spirit, mission and drama and the title of today's message is: We just disagree. If you know about pop rock music, you know about Dave Mason, one of the great underrated voices in pop rock. He had a song out several years ago that that is called "we just disagree." There was a line in there: "There ain't no good guy and no bad guy, there's just you and me and we just disagree." I'm not saying every disagreement is like that, but there are many that are exactly that way. Not really an angel on the one side and a demon on the other. It's just you and me and we just disagree. You know, the Bible not only presents ideal Christianity for us. Here is the ideal and what we aspire to be, but also real Christianity and patience and forbearance along the way and it is very open to presenting us the frailties of character and at times even the difficulties and disagreements of some of the finest people you will ever meet or read about experience. It doesn't portray these disagreements like a gossip magazine. To the contrary, it's not designed to create disillusionment or cynicism in us, but rather to instruct us, to edify us to know when we go through an episode of a disagreement, we'll not be the first and there are ways to navigate through it, hopefully in a healthy way. The story we're reading from Acts 15:36-41 Is the account of a sharp disagreement and really a sad separation between two hall of fame players: Paul and Barnabas. And as one writer says: When you read this story "hear the bubble of idealism burst on the needle of reality." Acts 15 beginning verse 36: Some time later Paul said to Barnabas, “Let us go back and visit the believers in all the towns where we preached the word of the Lord and see how they are doing.” You know, Paul and Barnabas went on a missionary journey, if you will, and they did so much wonderful, strategic ministry. They saw God do wonderful things through their preaching and teaching. They saw churches formed and strengthened and on that first missionary journey they had a relative of Barnabas. A younger man by the name of Mark, John Mark. Some say he was a nephew or a cousin. Want King James version mentions a nephew. And actually I think it's accurate to say they were cousins, but they were relatives. John Mark was a younger relative of Barnabas and he accompanied Paul and Barnabas on that first missionary journey, but about halfway through he bailed. And we don't really know why he quit, but it had sort of an air of drama to it. It's not like, oh, he got sick and it was beyond his ability. For some reason he made a choice during that first missionary journey to sign off. So they get ready to go back. And Paul says to Barnabas, let's go back. Verse 37: Barnabas wanted to take John, also called Mark, with them, but Paul did not think it wise to take him, because he had deserted them in Pamphylia and had not continued with them in the work. Notice Paul's mindset, he deserted us and had not continued. Paul says, Barnabas, let's go back. Let's continue -- go on our second missionary journey. Barnabas says, fantastic, and let's take John Mark too. Paul says, he's not going. Yes, he is. No, he's not. Yes, he is. No, he's not. Just how strongly do you feel about this? On a scale of 10, I'm a 10. Well, I'm a 10 too. Hmm. Verse 39: They had such a sharp disagreement that they parted company. And the impression you get is that two really fine Christian men could not agree and there was an unfortunate rupture in their partnership. Now, let's be clear about this. There is no heresy involved here. No false doctrine. It's not that either Paul or Barnabas is denying the deity of Jesus or elsewhere in the New Testament you will read about a heresy that arises where people are basically endorsing sexual immorality under the umbrella of Christian grace. None of that is going on here or earlier the Jerusalem council where some were saying if you're going to be saved and going to be a Christian, you have to follow the ceremonial law of Moses. None of that here. Paul and Barnabas absolutely in sync with their message and their doctrine, all the big rocks, but they cannot agree on taking John Mark on their missionary roster, if you will. Paul saw Mark's desertion as a lack of perseverance. I'm not sure we can count on him. Barnabas wanted to give him another chance and there is emotion involved here. This was not some sort of mild difference of opinion. And so significant was the disagreement that they parted ways and Paul picks a new missionary partner, Silas, and sets out in another direction. Again, verse 39 towards the end of it: Barnabas took Mark and sailed for Cyprus, but Paul chose Silas and left, commended by the believers to the grace of the Lord. He went through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the churches. Let me make a few observations from this story, from this narrative. Number one, conflict is inevitable even among the most spiritual people. Can brothers and sisters disagree in yes. We can be of one mind, one message, one mission, all the big rocks in place, doctrinal alignment in place and have points of disagreement. And it is surprising here, just like it was with Paul and Barnabas. Two of the most important people in the Book of Acts. Barnabas was called Mr. Encouragement. And when the apostle Paul became -- first became a Christian and people were skittish about him, it was Barnabas who steps up and put his arm around him and said, I believe in this guy. He was financially generous. And then there is Paul, dramatically converted by the Lord, wrote more New Testament books than anyone else, becomes a powerful preacher, teacher of grace and those two guys had been through so much together. Started churches together. Took their lumps together. Persecuted together. Saw the dramatic outpouring of the Holy Spirit in his miraculous works confirming his ministry. Saw all of that together. They were a dynamic duo. They were two of the leaders at the Jerusalem council. Brothers, friends, colleagues,colleagues. Movie stars divorce regularly, we read about it every day. It comes across my news feed. Bands break up. Maybe your favorite band broke up and you're waiting for them to get back together. Your team traded your favorite player. But Paul and Barnabas, after all they've been through together, they can't sort this out? Surely they can. Conflict is inevitable even among the most spiritual people. And just because we're aligned on the big picture doesn't mean that sometimes the small details -- sometimes they can complicate things. The second observation is that: Sometimes, two people can disagree and both be right. Notice, the Book of Acts doesn't say, well Paul was right and Barnabas was wrong. It doesn't say that. It just gives you the narrative. Well, give me the inside story who was really -- sometimes two people can disagree and both be right. In fact, the Book of Romans 14 says that very thing. When they were disagreeing over diet, days, and drink and they wrote to the apostle Paul and said tell us, he said, make up your own mind. That is certainly true about methodology. Sometimes people want to baptize certain methods. You can disagree and both be right. When it came to Paul and Barnabas, one was looking at the task before them and saying, I'm not sure I can trust this guy on this mission. The other one was looking at John Mark and said, he needs another chance and he could be a great missionary. Who knows who he could accomplish in the future. Let me put that biblical story on the shelf and ask you a question. Are you primarily a truthteller or a peacemaker? Both modes are important. And hopefully we can tap into both sides, but we typically lean into one or the other. A truthteller or a peacemaker. When it comes to dealing with conflict, a healthy truthteller and/or a healthy peacemaker with Godly motivations, that's wonderful. But you show me an unhealthy truthteller or an unhealthy peacemaker driven by more of a selfish motivation. So truthtellers, they tend to value justice and have a strong conviction of right and wrong. And they believe that just voicing their frustration is always the best course of action and you need to ask yourself this question: Do I desire truth to be spoken -- in other words, I'm just going to get it off my chest -- do I desire truth to be spoken or do I desire truth to be heard? Because an unhealthy truth teller is just focused on winning rather than resolving conflict and they can be hurtful and divisive. What's the old phrase? You're never persuasive when you are abrasive, but healthy truthtellers understand that it's important not just for truth to be said, but for truth to be heard in a way that's actually helpful and productive and that's why we speak in phones and in a way that's tactful and helpful. And for the peacemakertphtones and in a way that's tactful and helpful. And for the peacemaker sometimes it's wise to overlook a matter. The Bible says it's to the glory of a person to say -- we can overlook this in forbearance and love, but a peacemaker has to have wisdom to discern should this or not be drivewaysed and to ask this questionquestion: Am I overlooking an issue out of wise love or unwise passivity? Conflict has multiple faces. Let me put one type of conflict up here and it's related to our Personal convictions . For example, for me, I am a Christian and I'm a Bible-believing Christian, so I have certain convictions. Like Martin Luther said, here I stand. I can do no other. But I am around all sorts of people who do not share my convictions. Does the Bible have anything to say to me? Yes, it does. It says for people who are believers and have strong convictions, it says, always be ready to give an answer or why you believe what you believe, but do so with gentleness and respect. There is a statement out of the book of II Timothy about being effectively as a believer. I want to read it for you from the message. Here is what it says: Refuse to get involved in inane discussions that always end up in fights because God's servant must not be argumentative, but a gentle listener and a teacher who keeps their cool working firmly but patiently with those who refuse to obey God's truth. You never know how or when God might sober them up with a change of heart and a turning to the truth, enabling them to escape the devil's trap. Now, what he's saying here is, believer, don't believe your convictions less. Hold your convictions firmly, but do so with a soft, wise heart towards those who hold contrary convictions. It doesn't mean you believe anything less. It means treating those who hold a contrary perspective with respect and friendship so that perhaps at some point there is a bridge over which perhaps the gospel of Christ can cross. And then there are Personal preferences Where we have differences. This would be the reality of judgment calls. In fact, so much of life is a judgment call. It's a decision you make when there's no specific rule of scripture to apply, and most of our life involves judgment calls where we're taking biblical principles and wisdom and trying to apply them and many disagreements among believers today can simply be attributed to which biblical principle is applied in a particular situation. Think of all the disagreements among believers over the years over styles of worship, methods of evangelism, differences over how to educate children, and generally such conflicts can be resolved through our own growth in Christian character and by refusing to make rash and unfair judgments about another person's motives or maturity. When Paul wrote to the church in Rome in Romans 14, over their tension, over disputable matters, he gave a couple of key points of advice. He said one, refuse to judge one another over nonessential matters. In other words, give one another some space and time. Don't label. Whatever you think about combustible matters, he said -- and I had an older, wiser preacher friend tell me one time, Ronnie, if more people would follow this principle from Romans 14, it would solve a lot of problems. Here it is. Paul said, whatever you think about some of these disputable, combustible matters, feel free to keep it between yourself and God. But then sometimes we have conflicts over personal hurts. You've done something to hurt me. I've done something to hurt you. And often the best course of action is to tap into love and grace and see if you can overlook it in love. I'm not saying you pretend it didn't happen, but you seek to put it in perspective and sometimes you need a little time to back off. Now, if you think it's egregious enough, serious enough, habitual enough, have a conciliatory mindset and be willing to sit down with a person respectfully and seek to work it out. But everyone, any time we find ourselves and we will in a situation of conflict, it's an opportunity for you to grow, it's an opportunity for that relationship to grow, and it's an opportunity for God to show up and maybe show you something in that situation that you've not experienced before. All right. Let me sort of tie a bow on this and I want to do first of all with a scripture from Romans 12:18 And here it is. A wonderful piece of biblical counsel. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. Why? We serve a God of peace. Right? And he has taught us and Jesus taught us, blessed are the peacemakers. You're called children of God when you're a peacemaker. And God would love for us to be used in creating peaceful situations and especially providing opportunities for people to be at peace with God. One wise person says this: When you find yourself in tense situations, ask: Can I be as patient with that person as God is with me? And when we're in a a situation be at peace with everyone, but sometimes we have some difficult things to work through. A wise friend of mine in our church here, when he finds himself perhaps in a work situation oral any kind of a relational situation where there is some tension and he needs to disagree without drawing blood, he'll say this, I'm sorry, but I do see this differently. That's not a bad place to start. But I want to take John Mark and you don't. And I'm a 10 and you're a 10 and we're not budging. And here's what they did. They did not demonize one another. Paul got a new partner. He did mission work. Barnabas took John Mark. He did mission work. And they did mission work together. And you know what they did, they didn't write that disagreement in stone. They stepped back. They gave it some time and space. And let me tell you what happened. God just showed up. You do know that even in the midst of our weaknesses and sometimes our bad decisions, God will step in and do something surprising and out of this situation, first of all, instead of one mission team going, you had two, two mission efforts going. You have someone like John Mark who grew up and matured quite a bit. You say, well, it's a shame that Paul and Barnabas never worked together again. I believe they did. Paul spent 18 months in Corinth and in 1 Corinthians 6, he talks about Barnabas. They know him. 1 Corinthians 9 is one of the most important chapters in all the Bible because it talks about paying the preacher. It's 1 Corinthians 9. And in 1 Corinthians 9:6, Paul is talking about this to the Corinthian church and he says, what, only Barnabas and I have to work for a living? Other ministers get to be supported and only Barnabas and us -- so what most Bible teachers and scholars believe is that during the 18 months that Paul was Corinth working, that Barnabas was there for at least part of that time as well and they worked together. And then John Mark, what about him? There is a wonderful scripture at the close of 2 Timothy. The very last writing from the apostle Paul. He's in a Roman prison. He knows he's about to die and listen to these words: Get Mark and bring him with you, Notice -- because he is helpful to me in my ministry. God -- I'm not saying this always happens, but God can even redeem our conflicts. If if you find yourself in a conflict situation today, just remember, consider all the things you may have in common with that person, especially that brother or sister, and maybe you have one issue you're focusing on, you've got 1,001 precious things in common, but you have one little John Mark issue and you're focusing on that only. As John Maxwell likes to say, why don't you practice the 101% principle in the other direction. Find that 1% you actually agree on and give it 100% energy and action. My friends, on earth there will always be opportunities for conflict, but as long as there is a God in heaven, we can even see good come from it. Let's persevere through as much as is possible with us. We live at peace. Don't become disillusioned, don't become cynical. Don't take -- whenever you find yourself in a point of disagreement, don't take them off your prayer list, keep praying for them and remember this, don't allow that disagreement to become so firm that it cannot be revised. Paul revised his opinion about Mark. Let's stay open to what the Holy Spirit is doing and revise perhaps our judgment calls. And it won't be that difficult if we will maintain that spirit of brotherly love. All right, everyone, let's spend a little bit of time in prayer. Let me invite the worship team and the elder couples to receive you for a time of prayer. This is a time to understand where you are. Pray on your own with those people around you. You've got a lot of things on your heart to pray over. I do ask that you pray for our wonderful nation. I'm thankful for our country and our nation and indeed we want God to bless America and that America may be a blessing to others. Everyone, please, let's be standing and singing and praying together. ♫ "Purer In Heart O God" ♫ >> Kyle: Lord, we thank you for your moment and your spirit in this place and the way that it moves us and convicts us and shapes us. We're so, so thankful for that. We pray for our church, for our people here, for the broken-hearted today, we pray that you bind those broken hearts, that you heal them, that you offer reconciliation when there may not be any right now. Lord, we pray in earnest that you come quickly. We ask that in the powerful name of Jesus. Amen. Let's be seated, everyone. We have a baptism to celebrate this morning. Amber Cook is going to be baptized by her father, Daniel Cook. Please turn your attention to our Baptistry. >> Amber, our family is so proud of you and the decision you have made to be baptized. We know you have been on a beautiful journey studying God's Word, learning the importance of baptism, learning to live like Jesus every day. We're so thankful for this church, the youth group, all the youth ministers have done a wonderful job of educating you, showing you the importance of the love God has for us. Amber, I baptize you. Do you believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God? >> Yes. >> Do you believe that Jesus died to cleanse you of your sin ss, He rose into heaven and the Son of God? >> Yes. >> Amber, I'm going to baptize you in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. [ Applause ] >> That's awesome. We just had an amazing week at camp. It's been an awesome summer so far and one of the main reasons for that has been our other student minister, Jenna Davis. This is her last day at church. She's going to be moving to Mississippi to where her husband's family is. She was going to be here, but she got sick last night and is missing the goodbyes. We're going to have something down the D wing if you want to say goodbye, I'm going to FaceTime her. Anyone who wants to say goodbye, you can do that and we'll have an address and phone number to send her messages. She came here two and a half years ago. Her first months on the job were COVID, so that took up her time. But she has connected with the kids of this church and she made an incredible impact. She's watching online and can see and hear us. We want to say thank you to her. Would you mind giving Jenna Davis a round of applause for her work. [ Applause ] >> Kevin: Jenna, we love you and are so grateful for what you've done for us. >> Grant: All right, church. As we know, we get to celebrate July 4 here on our July 3 party Sunday. We do. We've got a really fun church party planned right after service. It's really fun to look out here and see the fullness of the church and the church body here and today we get to enjoy that. I hope you will stick around. We have some great vendors that have cooked for us. One is Sammy's Kitchen, he cooked up brisket and pulled pork and banana pudding. We also have Cajun Delights and more. It is a food truck out there. Both vendors will take all your payments or your kids as a payment -- no, cash, credit card, debit card, all of that, make it easy for you today. As you walk out, you'll see signs and where to go in the lines and menus up on TVs, make it easy on you where to go. As you get your food, we're going to exit out and go to the gym. The gym is set up to eat and F112 and tables in the rotunda. There is lots of seating. You're well taken care of. Sam's line is probably going to go a little bit faster. Cajun Delights is a cook-to-order deal. You'll get your ticket and wait. Maybe not your whole party, but one person, get your food and meet your family in the gym. That's going to be a great afternoon for the next couple of hours to enjoy our church. One housekeeping item, let's make sure to keep food off carpets and clean up our trash. We have plenty of trash cans to do that. We have stuff set up in the courtyard for the kids, nine square, have a ball and run around. This is skeeter style. When you eat there, what do you do, you eat your wol meal and then you get an ice cream. If youhole meal and then you get an ice cream. If you eat your whole meal, you get an ice cream. Anyone here like ice cream? It's going to be good. Church, a unique day to have the church together and I would say let's take advantage of these intergenerational relationships. Some of our old folks, go hang out with some of our younger folks. Ask them questions about life and how they're doing. Younger folks, sit with older folks. Ask them about parenting, marriage, career, their spiritual journeys. Let's enjoy the body of Christ today and the platform we have. If that's something you're interested in is having someone to pour into younger or older and wiser to seek ministry from, we have a ministry called pathfinders for you to come and be a part of of. You can go find out about the ministry and sign up today. Let's close with one more song and then go enjoy a good church party. ♫ "Days Of Elijah" ♫ >> Kyle: Amen, church. Thank you so much for joining us today. Have a fantastic independence day. See you later.
