The Free Methodist Way

Oct 19, 2025    Bishop Keith Cowart

"Jesus is saying here that our greatest witness to a watching world is not our doctrine. It's not our systems. It's definitely not our buildings. The greatest testimony to a watching world is that God could somehow bring together people who are radically different and make them one."


Bishop Keith Cowart was our guest speaker this Sunday, and he taught about the awesome distinctives that make us Free Methodists. His message centered on the profound concept of unity within the church, rooted in the very nature of the Trinity.


Drawing from Jesus’ prayer in John 17, Bishop Keith reminded us that unity is not just a lofty idea... it is essential to our mission as followers of Christ. We’re called to reflect the unity of the Godhead, showing the world a love that transcends our differences.


In a world marked by division, this message is more crucial than ever. As we walk through seasons of transition and challenge, let’s press into one another and allow the peace of Christ to referee our relationships. In doing so, we not only grow together as a church but also offer a powerful witness to a watching world.
