06 - The Joy Of Christian Unity (Part 2)

Philippians 2:1-4

July 23, 2017 • Pastor Ronald H. Gann

Paul repeatedly emphasized in his writings his desire to see the Body of Christ unified. To the Romans, he emphasized church unity (Rom. 15:5-7). To the Corinthians, he emphasized church oneness (1 Cor. 1:10; 2 Cor. 13:11). To the Ephesians, he emphasized church solidarity (Eph. 4:1-6). To the Colossians, he emphasized church harmony (Col. 3:12-15). To the Philippians, he emphasized church like-mindedness (Php. 1:27-2:4). Moreover, to the churches in Galatia he warned against divisiveness (Gal. 5:26 cf. 6:2-3) and to the Thessalonians he encouraged congregational cohesion (1 Thess. 4:9-10 cf. 2 Thess. 1:3). So why did Paul champion church unity the way that he did and as much as he did?

Rich in Christology and personal application, Pastor Ronald H. Gann expounds upon Paul’s famous Prison-Epistle verse-by-verse.
