Pathway To Joy - Part 2: A Servants Heart By Bruce Shellhamer
Acts 16:7-12 Acts 16:27 Acts 16:28-34 Philippians 2:3-4 Philippians 1:1-11 Exodus 19:5-6 Psalm 133:1 2 Corinthians 8:9 Ephesians 2:8-9 Philippians 1:3-8 John 15:16-17
As believers we are united with Christ in his death and resurrection, and from that reality – united into the new life we share in community of believers
The most effective way to achieve unity is not to insist that everyone agree with us but to look out for the interests of others and refuse to claim for ourselves the privileges that rightfully belong to us.
Grace is “God’s favor toward the unworthy”
If you were on trial for being a Christian, would there be enough evidence to convict you?
Love within the Christian community is not a sentimental feeling of willingness to let our brothers and sisters go their own way; it’s to grow out of - and be expressed from - our knowledge of God and depth of insight into His ways
Life Together, about Christian Community, Pastor Dietrich Bonhoeffer wrote:
“I have community with others and I shall continue to have it only through Jesus Christ. The more genuine and deeper our community becomes, the more everything else between us recede, the more clearly and purely will Jesus Christ and his work become the one and only thing that is vital between us.”
“Christian community is like the Christian’s sanctification. It is a gift of God which we cannot claim. … Because Christian community is founded solely on Jesus Christ, it is a spiritual and not a psychic reality. In this it differs absolutely from all other communities.”
(Pgs 25-26; 30;31 Life Together, by Dietrich Bonoeffer)
