“Unity In The Church”
Tuesday, August 13, 2024Key Verse
“Fulfill ye my joy that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind” (Philippians 2:2).
Text — Philippians 2:1-11
Message
To achieve great things and be able to withstand any opposition as a Church, we must be united. J. K. Rowling said,“We are only as strong as we are united, as weak as we are divided.” In Genesis chapter eleven from verse one, the builders of the tower were so united and of one mind that even God said in verse 6, “that nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.”
Comparing Psalm 133:1,3 with Acts 4:32,34, we see the beauty of unity and what it attracts. “… For there the Lord commanded the blessing, even life for evermore” “… Neither was there any among them that lacked”(Psalm 133:3; Acts 4:34). In the actual sense, unity attracts blessings. If we are united as Christians who have the mind of Christ (Philippians 2:5), then nothing will be done through strife or vainglory: but in lowliness of mind, each person will esteem others better than themselves. We will not look on our own things, but on the things of others (Philippians 2:3-4).
