Introduction

"Gentlemen, now we must all hang together, or surely we shall all hang

separately."Benjamin Franklin

Eph 4:2with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with

one another in love,

Eph 4:3eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.Eph 4:4There is one body and one Spirit--just as you were called to theone hope that belongs to your call--

Eph 4:5one Lord, one faith, one baptism,

Eph 4:6one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and inall.

In essentials, Unity; in non-essentials, liberty; in all things, charity.-

Saint Augustine

Essentials and Non EssentialsColossians 2:11-17

Acts 2:22 "Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a manattested to you by God with mighty works and wonders and signs that

God did through him in your midst, as you yourselves know--

Acts 2:23 this Jesus, delivered up according to the definite plan andforeknowledge of God, you crucified and killed by the hands of lawless

men.Acts 2:24 God raised him up, loosing the pangs of death, because it was

not possible for him to be held by it.

1 Cor 2:2 For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ

and him crucified.

1 John 4:1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to seewhether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into

the world.

1 John 4:2 By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit thatconfesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God,

When we quit dwelling on the non-essentials it frees up more time to

preach about the cross of Christ

How God Sees Us

Galatians 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor

free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

Acts 10:34 So Peter opened his mouth and said: "Truly I understand thatGod shows no partiality,

Acts 10:35 but in every nation anyone who fears him and does what is

right is acceptable to him.

Has it ever occurred to you that one hundred pianos all tuned to thesame fork are automatically tuned to each other.

A.W. Tozer

Christian Love2 Peter 3:15 And count the patience of our Lord as salvation, just as ourbeloved brother Paul also wrote to you according to the wisdom given

him,

Romans 12:10 Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one

another in showing honor.

Hebrews 12:14 Strive for peace with everyone, and for the holinesswithout which no one will see the Lord.

Closing-Nothing gets done where there is disunity

are you striving for the unity of the Lord's Church?

Are you a member of the body of Christ?
