Unity


a recap of what Pastor Cowen preached. more of my own points :D

Unity..... the heart of fellowship.
there can't be fellowship without unity coz when we're not united we don't think alike and like wise have problems.

Romans 12:3-21

it says "...we are not to think of ourselves more highly than we ought to think, but to think soberly as God has dealt to each one o measure of faith."

it goes on later to say that we are one body in Christ and that means we work together... and that mean we are to be united. We need to work together in order for the body to be functional.
For if one fails to do his part the whole body is affected. So in the same way as we sin the whole body is corrupted not just us. The churh is then affected. this is why we need to e an example.
this reminded me of a verse in 1 Timothy 4:12 where it says "Do not despise you youth... but be an example..."
