Lecture 2 (Congress 2018)

Dt: Unity in diversity strengthens the body of Christ

Aim: We will acknowledge our difference in function and seek to strengthen the body of Christ by uniting with others.

Acknowledge that there is One Body ()

Romans 12:4 ESV

For as in one body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function,

With Many Members

With Different Functions

Illustration:

Application: Where do you fit in the body of Christ? Who do you mentor in the body of Christ? When there is conflict in the body seek spiritual resolutions that offer strength to the body of Christ. The Body of Christ must bring Christ glory. How do you as a member of the body bring Him Glory?

Acknowledge that We Are Connected to Each Other ()

Romans 12:5 ESV

so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another.

We are one in purpose

We are one in practice
