Listen "Unity in Community (2) - May 26, 2024"
Episode Synopsis
Welcome to today's sermon podcast! Inspired by Apostle Paul's prayer in Ephesians 6:19, our pastor delves into Ephesians 4:1-6, urging us to live lives worthy of our calling. We explore themes of humility, gentleness, patience, and love, emphasizing unity within the church of Jesus Christ.
This sermon continues from last week, stressing the importance of walking in unity and growing in faith together. By embodying these four graces—humility, gentleness, patience, and love—we not only strengthen our community but also prepare ourselves for the battles ahead.
Our pastor shares personal anecdotes and biblical references, illustrating how our conduct should reflect our heavenly Father. The message is clear: unity is vital, but it does not mean uniformity. We celebrate our differences, recognizing that they complement and strengthen us as one body in Christ.
Join us as we commit to walking worthy of our calling, united in purpose and love, ready to impact the world for the glory of God.
