One Another / Sidesteps Sub-series
Some of Over 50 ‘One Another’ Statements in the Bible
Peace with One Another
May 21, 2023 • Nate Gallagher • Colossians 3:5–17
Nate describes the shared Identity, Activity, and Source that the Elect of God (us) need to exhibit in our daily lives. Our Identity is as the Elect of God, our Activity is to treat, respond and forgive others, and our Source is to let the name of Christ Drive all we say and do.
Love One Another
May 14, 2023 • Nate Gallagher • 1 John 3:10–16
The most quoted and well-known verses of the Bible is "love one another". John outlines in this letter to the church throughout the Roman empire what that really means. It is a teaching that is relevant for all times and all situations! But our culture has redefined it from the original meaning. We need to understand what John really meant in order for us to truly follow its command. POINT 1: PRACTICE RIGHTEOUSNESS A. Imputed Righteousness B. Imparted Righteousness POINT 2: LAY DOWN OUR LIVES 1. Resources 2. Actions POINT 3: LOVE FROM GOD’S APPROVAL
Esteem One Another
May 7, 2023 • Jim Gallagher • Philippians 2:1–11, Mark 10:35–45, John 13:1–17
Paul writes in this passage that we should seek, not to be elevated above our present station, but to be humbled into service for Him and His Kingdom. In doing so, we need to start with our brothers and sisters in the church body and make Jesus' life a template for our lives.
Bear with One Another
April 30, 2023 • Nate Gallagher • Ephesians 4:1–6
This sub-series of Sidesteps starts with looking at some of the over 50 "One Another" statements in the Bible. In this episode, Nate points out OUR CALL to BEAR with One Another. We must then use OUR ACTIONS to implement our mentality of Lowliness/Gentleness, and OUR COMMUNITY in Long-suffering/Bearing-with/and Keeping Unity with our fellow believers and others we wish to attract to our community. Quote: “In the beginning the church was a fellowship of men and women centered on the living Christ. Then the church moved to Greece, where it became a philosophy. Then it moved to Rome, where it became an institution (Holy Roman empire). Next, it moved to Europe, where it became a culture. And, finally, it moved to America, where it became an enterprise.” -Halverson
