How Sweet It Is - 7.28.19

Psalm 133 One of the Lord’s sweetest gifts to His children is the community of faith. The gifts of salvation include gaining brothers and sisters in this life and eternal life in the age to come. Therefore, we ought to strive hard to protect that unity and grow in it. Main Idea: One of God’s good gifts to His people is unity in community. 1) See the Christian Community and the local church as the gift that She is. 2) Be eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the Bond of Peace. How do we overcome obstacles to unity? 1) Love God more 2) Be an active member of the church 3) Pursue the Interests of others above your own
