Maintain Unity, Gain Maturity (Ephesians 4:1-16) [Jason Portnoy]

Chapel Hill Bible Church - Sermons

Week 2 of "From an Elder’s Heart" and our focus will be on unity – true Christian Unity – as we look at Ephesians 4:1-16. Paul exhorts the church of Ephesus – and us by extension – to maintain the unity of Christ. In so doing, Paul causes us to see that the source of our unity is the Holy Spirit and as we each use the gifts the Holy Spirit has given to us, we cooperate with the Spirit to not only individually mature in Christ but also build up the body of Christ in love and unity. This is a beautiful antidote to the winds of pride and individualism that swirl in the culture around us.
