In this message, Pastor Jordan explores the history and purpose of church denominations, from the early unified church to the Great Schism and the Protestant Reformation. He distinguishes between “closed-handed” core theological beliefs (like the Nicene Creed) and “open-handed” practices that lead to denominational differences. Drawing from Romans 14, Jordan encourages unity amidst diversity, emphasizing that believers, regardless of their specific denominational practices, are accepted by God and should avoid judging one another, instead focusing on their shared love for Christ and their individual gifts within the larger body of believers.
