Real People In A Real World (Discipling Unity) Part 2: Competition, Collaboration, And Christ

How do we learn to build together when all of us are imperfect? How do we live out this idea we call "church," especially if we have found ourselves hurt, envious, or offended by another? Dealing with the very real emotions of rivalry and conflict are vital in becoming a healthy representation of Jesus to the world around us. One thing we know for sure is that we are not called to contentious competition, but to healthy collaboration and partnership together as believers. To see our different gifts grow and our different roles actively serving together requires that we be built together on the secure foundation of Jesus Christ as our foundation and core identity. This secure foundation enables us to celebrate the success of others and partner together like well-tuned instruments to see His name made great!
