Love and Unity

In this message, we're reminded of the transformative power of God's love and the importance of unity in advancing the gospel. The central scripture, Philippians 1, emphasizes Paul's unwavering faith and encouragement to the church of Philippi, even while imprisoned. We're challenged to consider how our own struggles can be used for a greater purpose in God's plan. Pastor Eric beautifully illustrates how God's work in us is ongoing, urging us not to judge ourselves or others prematurely. This ties into the profound concept of grace - God's favor and empowerment - which enables us to accomplish His will. As we reflect on our own faith journey, we're encouraged to embrace the messy yet beautiful process of growing together in Christ, overcoming personal differences for the sake of the gospel. This message invites us to examine our relationships, both within and outside the church, and to approach them with the same grace and love that God extends to us.
