State of the Church 2021 - Dr. Mark Batterson

Published: Feb. 13, 2021, 10 p.m.

b'Dr. Mark Batterson gives our annual State of the Church message. Together, we\\u2019ll look back at all God has done in and through NCC in 2020 and look ahead into 2021 and beyond.\\n\\nThe church ought to be the most CREATIVE place on the planet. The church ought to be the most DIVERSE place on the planet. Those two things are not unrelated. In fact, you can\\u2019t have one without the other. Unity does NOT mean uniformity! Unity is CORPORATE HUMILITY. Maturity does NOT mean conformity.\\n\\nMaturity is UNITY in DIVERSITY. Then, and only then, can we become the BELOVED COMMUNITY God has destined us to be.'
