Do We Have to Agree to Get Along? | Risking in Unity, Liberty, and Charity 8/30/2026

Have you ever wondered how you're supposed to get along with someone when you strongly disagree? We live in a time when differences of opinion can quickly become divisions—and people who see the world differently can easily become “them.” But what if disagreement doesn't have to mean disconnection? In this message, Jeremy Poynter explores what it means to live with our differences without allowing those differences destroy our relationships. Drawing from Jesus' call to love God and love our neighbors, Jeremy considers the value of listening to people who see things differently, recognizing our own blind spots, and remembering that none of us sees the whole picture on our own. The goal isn't to make everyone think alike. It's to ask a better question: What can we do together? When we make room for different perspectives, we may discover that disagreement can actually help us grow. And when we choose love over division, we create communities where people can belong without having to become exactly like everyone else. 💬 Think of someone you disagree with but still care about.
