Welcome to Calvary's Online Campus!

Welcome to our in-depth Bible study exploring the theme of “How Mature Faith Handles Disagreements Without Division.” In this sermon, we unpack how Christians can navigate differences of opinion while maintaining unity in faith, rooted in the authority of Scripture.

What You’ll Learn:
1. Exegesis vs. Isagesis: Learn the difference between letting the Bible shape your beliefs (exegesis) versus imposing your own views onto the text (isagesis). Discover why grounding our faith in Scripture is crucial for understanding God’s truth.

2. The Authority of Scripture: Explore why the Bible, as inspired by God (2 Timothy 3:16-17), serves as the ultimate authority for Christian belief and practice, and how this shapes meaningful discussions with others.

3. Handling Disagreements with Grace: Drawing from Romans 14, we explore practical ways to address disagreements among Christians with humility, gentleness, and love, avoiding division while staying true to biblical principles.

4. Practical Wisdom for Unity: From 2 Timothy 2:23-26 and Ephesians 4:15-16, learn how to speak the truth in love, be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger (James 1:19-21), fostering peace and building up the body of Christ.

5. Cultural and Historical Context: Understand the importance of studying the cultural and historical context of Scripture to rightly divide the Word of Truth, ensuring our interpretations align with God’s intended meaning.

6. Real-Life Applications: Hear relatable stories and insights on navigating theological differences, including discussions on progressive Christianity, Catholicism, and other perspectives, all while seeking common ground in Scripture.

This study is perfect for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of the Bible, grow in spiritual maturity, and learn how to handle disagreements with love and wisdom. Whether you're a seasoned believer or new to the faith, this message will equip you to engage in meaningful conversations without compromising biblical truth.

We pray that you are blessed by the message!
