Sermons on Church Unity

Doctrine doesn’t divide, it unites. Paul begins to tell us how all the doctrine he has taught in Chapters 1-3 of the book of Ephesians is to work itself out in the life of the Christian. As a result of the glorious truths of the sovereign God and our calling to His son, we are to walk worthy of our calling. Paul will expand upon this but in verses 2-3 we see that it looks like walking in unity. We see characteristics such as humility, gentleness, and patience which contribute to this unity. But Paul ultimately gives the basis of the unity we are to walk in. It is that we have one Spirit, one Lord – Jesus, and one Father. He details essential doctrines of the Christian faith and the triune God which is our basis for unity as Christians.
