Phil 1:27

Stand Together

• Unity without doctrinal compromise (Eph 4:1-6)
• Two errors...
  • Unity = conformity
  • Unit > doctrine

Striving Together

• Gospel message - He came, lived, died, rose (1 Cor 15:3-4)
• Faith - deepens in us, propels us outward
• Side by side - unity as its own confirmation of the Gospel
• Striving - worth working for

Phil 1:28-30

Suffering Together

• Opponents - those who are set against Jesus and His people
• Lack of fear speaks loudly - grace for believing as well as suffering
