Quiet the Room | Rev. Dr. Andre K. Bennett

Ever been in a room where everyone’s talking and nobody’s actually listening? Committees that argue past each other. Congregations split by decisions nobody remembers agreeing to. Families who stopped hearing each other years ago. It’s not a new problem, and it’s not one more volume can fix.

This Sunday, Rev. Dr. Andre Bennett takes us to Acts 15, where the early church faced a fight that could have torn it apart, and instead of doubling down, they did something radical: they listened. They listened to the Spirit, to the Scriptures, and to each other, and out of that listening came unity nobody could have shouted their way into. “For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us…” isn’t a soft phrase. It’s the sound of a church choosing humility over certainty.

What it would look like if we measured a healthy church not by how confidently it speaks, but by how faithfully it listens. Join us this Sunday as we consider what we might hear if we finally got quiet enough to.
