Core vs. Periphery
Featuring Tim Cooper
Everyone has opinions. When it comes to things like sports and movies, differing opinions keep things interesting. But as topics get more serious, opinions can become divisive. Theological opinions can stir emotion. But differences in theology don’t have to separate us. It’s all about how we treat one another when disagree.
Core vs. Periphery is a one-week video study for small groups. It is designed to help you clearly identify which beliefs you consider essential to the Christian faith. That's because understanding the priority you place on specific beliefs can enable you to be kinder and more graceful when talking with people who don't see eye-to-eye with you.
