Better Together

Pastor Nick Decker

Philippians 2:1-4

.......

In this sermon based on Philippians 2:1-4, Pastor Nick emphasizes the importance of unity within the church as a means to resist internal discord that can hinder its mission. He creatively illustrates how the enemy, through division and conflict, seeks to weaken the church's influence, urging congregants to focus on their shared faith and purpose. The pastor outlines three key components for fostering unity: the motivation for standing together, which is rooted in their shared experiences of Christ's love; the mark of unity, characterized by a common purpose; and the means to achieve this unity, which involves humility and considering others' interests above one's own. Ultimately, Pastor Nick calls the congregation to reflect on their relationships and strive for a united front in order to fulfill their mission of making and maturing disciples in the neighborhood and the nations.
