7.18.21 Hillside Bible Sermon - One in Christ

7/19/2021

 
Sermon SummaryEphesians 4:1-16 would be shocking to a person who had observed modern church practices but never before read the Bible. It points us away from a consumer mentality where church is all about the benefit I receive and away from casually breaking fellowship. Ephesians 4 tells us that the church ought to be one because we have one Lord and one Faith and one Father. It also tells us that unity is desirable because we need each other. God has given his gifts to the church - gifts which we benefit from by being routinely involved in the church community. As we examined Ephesians 4:1-16 we were challenged to eagerly protect the unity of the church, to be humble and gentle, to be patient, and to bear with one another. In this way we preserve unity and receive the greatest benefit from all of God's gifts.
