Philippians 2:1 So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any
comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit ….complete my joy by
being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and
of one mind. 3 Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in
humility count others more significant than yourselves. 4 Let
each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. 5 Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ
Jesus,
STANDING FIRM IN ONE SPIRIT & ONE MIND
“What does it look like to live a life worthy of the gospel of Jesus Christ?
It looks like walking with, loving with, and doing life with those who are different from you. When we
forego our own way to stand together in the Spirit of Christ, we make the gospel look supremely
valuable.”Matt Chandler

STRIVING SIDE BY SIDE
“The kind of trust that we are called to give to our fellow imperfect
humans in this life, be they family or friends, employers or government
officials, or even leaders in a church, can never finally be earned. It must be given as a gift—a gift of faith, in
trust more of the God who gives than of the leaders he has given.”
