Together Be One

September 26, 2021

Philippians 4:2-3 — Be one, be united. We help one another to be united, be of the same mind in the Lord so that we can stand firm in the Lord against the enemies of the cross and the opponents of the church. We show unity in humility and we make peace because we are fellow workers and fellow soldiers in the gospel. We need one another so that together we can run this race and pursue our kingdom calling in this world.

This is part of our sermon series, Rejoice in the Lord Always, in which we will be walking through Paul’s letter to the Philippians. For this whole sermon series, I acknowledge and credit the following sources and authors that informed my sermons and whose ideas I sometimes used or adapted: Peter Thomas O’Brien, The Epistle to the Philippians: A Commentary on the Greek Text, New International Greek Testament Commentary (Grand Rapids, MI: Eerdmans, 1991). R. Kent Hughes, Philippians: The Fellowship of the Gospel, Preaching the Word (Wheaton, IL: Crossway Books, 2007). Tom Wright, Paul for Everyone: The Prison Letters: Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, and Philemon (London: Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, 2004). D. A. Carson, Basics for Believers: An Exposition of Philippians (Grand Rapids, MI: Baker Books, 1996).
