Sermons About Unity
A Church Called Together
The church is to be a unique place in a fallen and broken world. It is to be a place of harmony, purpose, and unity. But too often, the church has been divided, filled with people seeking their personal agendas, or filled with people who are living their own lives without thought of the message that they are sending to other people through their lives. Far too few understand the unique nature of the church that God has called together in this world. As a church, we must strive to be a place of unified diversity—people from all different walks of life who are unified around the lordship of Jesus Christ. As we pursue this, we will be a dwelling place of God in this world, and place from which God will call more people to himself for salvation in Jesus Christ.

Building Unity
The worst thing that could happen to our fellowship is the loss of unity. It's not enough for us to want unity, or even enough for us to all agree that unity is what we need. In Phillipians 2, we will be looking at the 'why' of unity, the 'what' -- what it really looks like -- and the 'how.'

When People Differ - Worship God Together
In concluding his teaching on how to handle differences between believers, Paul points to unified worship of God as the ultimate goal of dealing with differences. By accepting others whom Christ has died for and accepted, we follow the pattern of Christ, and see God's promises to his people fulfilled. In so doing, we can honor God through the worship of a unified body.

The Transformation Series: "It Takes a Village"
All too often we approach our faith with a western, individualistic mindset. So we interpret passages to mean that they are to be carried out be me and me alone. If we are going to be more like Christ (Which we have seen is God’s goal for us), then we too must learn to live in community. It is living in community that we are truly human.

Countercultural Community
As the tale of two cities continues we are introduced to the tension that surrounds the concept of community. While both cities value community they have a very different idea of what it is. The city of man perceives community in one way. The city of God perceives it another. What is true community? And how are Christians supposed to live in community within both cities? Listen in as we turn to 1Peter 2:1-10.

Unity In The Gospel - Part 1 - Galatians 2:1-10
Often today Christians seem to either think unity with other Christians is unimportant or that they must pursue unity with anyone who calls themselves Christians. However, while this scripture passage speaks of the importance of unity, it also points out that the only ground for unity is the good news of Jesus Christ as revealed by God and recorded in the Bible. In the gospel we have unity with one another, but outside of it there is none.

Going Multiethnic Is God's Idea
Going multiethnic stems from the mind of Christ. It is not optional--it is a mandate. In John 17 Jesus prays for the unity of those that were to become believers later on and desired that they be with Him in heaven to see His glory. Rev. 5 gives a glimpse of the makeup of this group--very multiethnic--every tribe and language and people and nation. At the beginning of civilization right after the flood, God intentionally confused language and scattered people all over the earth. The Great commission in Matthew 28 instructs us to make disciples of all nations. God gets more glory from the unity of believers the more diverse and multiethnic they are. He is a God that scatters and a God that gathers.

Different By Design
Men and women, created in the image of God, are equal in value, importance, significance and dignity. But in a reflection of the glorious unity and diversity of the Trinity, men and women are also created and called by God to serve in different but complementary roles. In the context of the church and family, men are called by God to lead and provide, and women are called by God to help. This calling predates mankind's fall into sin.
To say all this is barely to scratch the surface; applying this requires careful attention to God's commands and a watchfulness that we do not fall into the various temptations that beset us as men and women. But there is great joy to be found in walking out God's calling for us.
Scriptures referenced include Genesis 1-3; 1 Corinthians 11:3,7-11; 1 Corinthians 15:22,28; Romans 5:15; 1 Timothy 2:13,15; Colossians 3:18; Titus 2:4-5; Ephesians 5:22-25; 1 Peter 3:1-6; 1 Timothy 5:9,14; Proverbs 31:28.

Soul Prosperity
We need to live in God’s righteousness, peace and joy on the inside all the time, not just cry out to God for it when we are in a crisis. Our soul is prospering when we are walking in step with Holy Spirit.

Committed to the Common Good
Teamwork--it's what gets big jobs done. And the big job set before us is building the Kingdom of God by reaching out to others with the love of Christ. We must do it together like the people who committed themselves to rebuilding the wall of the holy city of Jerusalem. No one could have accomplished it alone--they had to work together, side by side, brick by brick.

Christ and the Apologetic of His People
To provide an apologetic is to provide a defense of a certain position, to give reasons to believe something. Everyone engages in the task of apologetics on some level. This task is especially important to the Christian who must provide reasons for why one should believe in Jesus Christ and follow him. How do we do this? On the eve of his death Jesus prayed that his followers would go beyond using apologetics and become the apologetic. Listen in as we look at Jesus' prayer for his followers.

Christ and the Diversity of His People
"Sunday morning at 11am is the most segregated hour in America." That's how the old cliche goes. And though it is a cliche it is nonetheless true. But why? Why is it that those who have been reconciled to God by Christ do not appear to have been reconciled to one another? Listen in as we discuss how Christ has united all people in one body and why our local churches do not reflect this.
