Philippians 1:27

Introduction:

I believe that God wants us to strive for unity and faithfulness.

1. Strive for Unity in Maturity
2. Strive for Unity in Message

The gospel goes way beyond our salvation and empowers our sanctification.

Quote: “The gospel is not just supposed to be our ticket into heaven; it is to be an entirely new basis for how we relate to God, ourselves, and others. It is to be the source from which everything else flows.” —J.D. Greear

            Be rigid in the gospel and flexible on everything else.

            Be real in an authentic community of believers.

Quote: “The Christ follower outside of community is living in disobedience. Community is assumed. If I am out of community, I am out of God’s will.”

Quote: “It is easy to watch the show, but it is biblical to gather in communities and live on mission.”

Hebrews 3:13 But exhort one another every day, as long as it is called “today,” that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.

3. Strive for Unity in Mission

Quote: “It is the whole duty of the whole church to preach the whole gospel to the whole world.” —C.H. Spurgeon

Quote: “The church is one of the few organizations in the world that does not exist for the benefit of its members.” —Ed Stetzer

            Every member a minister 

            Every member a missionary
