Prepared by: Rev. Kay O. CarolinoPreached by: Ptr. Noolen Jebb G. Mayo
Therefore I, the prisoner of the Lord, implore youto walk in a manner worthy of the calling withwhich you have been called, with all humility andgentleness, with patience, showing tolerance forone another in love, being diligent to preserve theunity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. Thereis one body and one Spirit, just as also you werecalled in one hope of your calling; one Lord, onefaith, one baptism, one God and Father of all whois over all and through all and in all.
( lowliness of mind )
? too highly of yourself? less of yourself
see yourself as a gift from God
( strength under control )
? not a sign of weakness? some tried to use ‘humility’ as equivalent
to bear injuries of afflictions
( long-suffering toward people )
? not just waiting around? is not cramming
it is a joyful faithfulness
a body is comprised of thousand of cells yet every cell shares one life
same Holy Spirit dwells within every believer so there’s an interconnectedness
among us
that one hope rests solely in Jesus Christ;the hope of eternal life
KURIOS – one and only supreme ruler of the universe
one and only truth that was given to the church to believe in
a signal to the world that we belong to the Body of Christ
once He is in our lives, we become part of His forever family
We are all part of one body becauseone and the same Spirit dwells inevery Christ-follower; we all have onecommon hope; one common Lord;one common faith; one commonbaptism; and we all bow in worshipof the same God and Father.
1.How are you living your lifeas a Christian?
2.How are you showing toother Christians that you areliving in unity with them?
