The early church nearly fractured over the question of whether Gentile believers had to follow Jewish laws and customs. Sound familiar? In the third message of "Called Together," Rhoda Howell opens in Acts 15 and the Jerusalem Council, where the church faced one of its first major internal conflicts, and where a single voice cut through all the noise with a truth that stopped the argument cold: we are saved by grace alone, not by rules, habits, or opinions.

Fresh from her own annual conference gathering, Rhoda brings warmth, humor, and hard-won pastoral wisdom to the question of how a community finds a way forward when people disagree. Through the unexpected story of a bank president called to teach three-year-olds, and her own three-year argument with God about entering ministry, she makes the case that unity is not about everyone agreeing. It is about surrendering our preferences to the One who actually knows what He is doing.
