Listen "Unity in the Church: God's Plan for Making Jesus Known - Grow Series - November 3, 2024"
Episode Synopsis
This sermon by Zakk Roberts at Steel City Church focuses on the transformative power of Christian unity and community. Beginning with Jesus's prayer in John 17:20-23, Roberts explains that Steel City Church exists to help everyday people learn and live the ways of Jesus. He traces Christianity's remarkable growth from just 120 believers in 30 AD to approximately 2.4 billion followers today, representing 33% of the world's population.
The sermon introduces "The Ways," Steel City's comprehensive guide to following Jesus, which encompasses three dimensions: lifestyles (connecting with God, investing in others, and engaging non-believers), identities (as uniters and givers), and practical guideposts like belonging, speaking truth, bearing burdens, serving, stewarding, and sacrificing. Roberts emphasizes practical expressions of Christian community through love, hospitality, harmony, and forgiveness.
Zakk concludes by highlighting how early Christianity transformed Roman society by addressing urgent social needs through practical love and community service. The central message is clear: the church's unity and mutual love serve as God's primary strategy for making Jesus known to the world. Through Steel City's framework of "The Ways," members are encouraged to actively participate in this divine plan by living out their faith in practical, community-oriented ways.
