Sunday School Meeting

unity

why unity in the body of Christ is so important.

Philippians 2:1-

Philippians 2:1–5 ESV

So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus,

Paul gives 4 things to be reminded of:

Encouragement in Christ

Comfort in Love

Participation in the Spirit

Affection and sympathy

Then Paul labors to say we should be unified. The purpose of unity is not just unity for the sake of unity; rather Because this models Christ!

How does this model Christ?

Verse 3:

Don’t be selfish, Have Humility

Christ being God, did not use His Godly clout to do His own thing. He became a servant. If Christ could become a servant, We can too!

Working Together

Let’s serve the body and each other. We will not agree on everything (all comments and constructive criticism are welcomed). .

Take any selfish ambition out of the picture and let’s put the interests of the Kingdom first (as it has been given to our Pastor from God) and the students second.

Christ puts the plan of God the Father for Salvation of all mankind ABOVE His own suffering.

Curriculum has changed and will change again, as we move to a Sermon base Sunday school model. This will enforce and re-enforce what Pastor Orr preaches on Sundays.
