The Church Is an Island of Hope (Rom. 15:1–13)

Overcoming petty differences and finding unity in God’s Word, Christians can live together in a way that defies the principalities and powers of this world. In this episode of You’re Not Crazy, Sam Allberry and Ray Ortlund consider the church’s role as a beacon of hope amid a tumultuous world. They challenge us to extend welcome to outsiders as we have been welcomed in Christ, sacrificing our own interests for the sake of Christ and the good of others. And they speak a word of encouragement to weary pastors, encouraging them to turn to the Lord in prayer and find grace for their callings.
