Summary: God is a God of diversity. Just look at creation, all the diversity around us. Diversity was meant by God, not to divide, but to enrich. -Diversity is not: chaos, confusion and disorder, disunity, or toleration of sin. 1. The Reality of Diversity. - Jesus disciples were from many different walks of life. - Families and siblings have many diversities even though in the same family. 2. The Reason for Diversity. - Keeps life interesting - God didn't make all flowers red roses. - No human is complete in themselves. - Need various talents on a team and in church-life. 3. The Response to Diversity. - Can cause division if we try to avoid or remove the individuals/diversity in our life. - Need to welcome loyal opposition. 4. The Results of Diversity. - Wholesome diversity will: Bring us into the unity of the faith, give us a fuller understanding of the person and work of Christ, make us complete, aid us in achieving maturity in Christ.
