“The U and I in Unity”

Sunday morning worship April 27

Of the Same Mind (Harmony) There is a standard to be

followed There is a method of dealing

with those out of harmony There has to be concern for all

participants

Let’s Look at Rulers Don’t measure like the Pharisees! Don’t measure while blinded! Be careful which ruler you use –

you just might see it again!

Esteem the Day It is between the individual and

the LORD (Romans 14:5,6) Do not condemn those who differ

(Romans 14:4,10-12) Be sensitive to the convictions of

others (Romans 14:13-19)

The U and I in Unity

The U and I in Unity Christianity was never meant to

be lived alone

Acts 2:44-4744 Now all who believed were together, and had all things in common, 45 and sold their possessions and goods, and divided them among all, as anyone had need.

Acts 2:44-4746 So continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart,

Acts 2:44-4747 praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved.

It’s Not Meant to be Lived Alone

Acts 11:26 – “assembled themselves” with the churchGalatians 6:10 – “Household” of faith1Cor. 3:9 – Laborers “together”

The U and I in Unity Christianity was never meant to

be lived alone If we live it alone, we miss the

encouragement of our family

1Thessalonians 5:11-1411 Therefore comfort each other and edify one another, just as you also are doing.

1Thessalonians 5:11-1412 And we urge you, brethren, to recognize those who labor among you, and are over you in the Lord and admonish you,

1Thessalonians 5:11-1413 and to esteem them very highly in love for their work’s sake. Be at peace among yourselves.

1Thessalonians 5:11-1414 Now we exhort you, brethren, warn those who are unruly, comfort the fainthearted, uphold the weak, be patient with all.

1Thessalonians 5:11Therefore comfort each other and edify one another, just as you also are doing.

The U and I in Unity Christianity was never meant to

be lived alone If we live it alone, we miss the

encouragement of our family If we live it alone, we miss

encouraging our family

Hebrews 10:24,2524 And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, 25 not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.

Hebrews 10:24,25 (ESV)24 And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, 25 not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.

Hebrews 3:12,1312 Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God;

Hebrews 3:12,1313 but exhort one another daily, while it is called “Today,” lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

encouragement of our family If we live it alone, we miss

encouraging our family
