About this episode

Pastor Lonnie emphasizes the importance of humble listening and shared discernment in building a faithful community.

In this message from Pastor Lonnie, we are reminded that a faithful community is built not on control or quick agreement, but on humble listening and shared discernment. Drawing on Acts 15 and the Jerusalem Council, the sermon explores how the early church navigated deep disagreement by gathering, listening, praying, and remaining open to the Spirit’s leading through unexpected voices. The message challenges us to resist a culture of division and instead practice patience, humility, and genuine listening. At its core, the sermon declares that every soul bears God’s image and that, because God can speak through anyone, every voice matters.
