A Community Shaped by Love

In a world obsessed with division, the church is called to something radically different. The early church in Philippi was made up of people with nothing in common except Christ, and that was enough. Paul's challenge in Philippians 1:27 is not simply to be nice or get along, but to live in a way that makes the gospel believable. A gospel-shaped community stands firm together with intentionality, chooses humility over self-interest, and looks outward rather than inward. The way we treat one another tells the world what we truly believe about Jesus. This kind of community is not produced by human effort alone. It is the natural overflow of hearts that have been transformed by the gospel. The shape of a gospel-centered life is the shape of the cross: pointing upward to God and outward to others.For sermon notes, recap, and devotionals, click here: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://sermons.wraynaz.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠For all our links, click here: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/wraynaz
