 God Demands It:  We are called to be part of a new FAMILY.  This new family is not a natural or cultural human possibility. It is supernatural reality.  We Desire It:  Longing in our hearts for a life in community.  The Diversifying World Deserves It:  Diversity-in-unity multi-generation churches are a powerful demonstration of the Gospel.  Carries greater missional potential in today’s and tomorrow’s world.

Breaking down walls that divide  Cultural Roadblocks  Commission Recovery  Conflict Resolution

 Cultural Roadblocks (Gal. 3:28; Eph. 2:14-18)  Understanding the church as family - Family ties that build, family ties that bind  Grow a dynamic diversity - Harmony ( 和諧 ) vs. Unity ( 統一 or 聯合 ) (1 Cor. 12)  Trade up our traditions – new wineskins (Matt. 9:16-18; Col. 2:6-23)  Leadership Paradigms (Ex. 18; 1 Tim. 4:12; 2 Tim. 2:2)  Commission Recovery  Conflict Resolution Breaking down walls that divide

 Cultural Roadblocks  Commission Recovery  Make “missional” disciples (Matt. 28:18-20)  Understand the context (1 Chron. 12:32; 1 Cor. 9:19-23)  Church in Jerusalem vs. Church at Antioch  Develop the liminality: the in-between-ness of the second generation (Jn. 17:13-19; 1 Pet. 1:1-2)  Program/Performance vs. People/Process  Conflict Resolution

Breaking down walls that divide  Cultural Roadblocks  Commission Recovery  Conflict Resolution  Fight fair, resolve issues (Acts 6)  Build on essentials (Acts 15)

So what now? Of this gospel I was made a minister according to the gift of God's grace, which was given me by the working of his power. To me, though I am the very least of all the saints, this grace was given, to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ, and to bring to light for everyone what is the plan of the mystery hidden for ages in God who created all things, so that through the church the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly places. This was according to the eternal purpose that he has realized in Christ Jesus our Lord, in whom we have boldness and access with confidence through our faith in him. So I ask you not to lose heart over what I am suffering for you, which is your glory. … Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen. (Eph. 3:7-13; 20-21)
