Westside Value #2: We Stick Together
We believe we are better together.
We protect our unity,
we build one another up,
we work in teams and as a team,
and we have each other’s backs.
Ephesians 4:1-6
1 Therefore I, a prisoner for serving the Lord, beg you to lead a life worthy of your calling, for you have been called by God.
2 Always be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other’s faults because of your love.
3 Make every effort to keep yourselves united in the Spirit, binding yourselves together with peace.
4 For there is one body and one Spirit, just as you have been called to one glorious hope for the future.
5 There is one Lord, one faith, one baptism,
6 one God and Father of all, who is over all, in all, and living through all.
MY ROLE AS A FOLLOWER OF JESUS:
To be a KEEPER of UNITY
God blesses those who work for peace, for they will be called the children of God. -Matthew 5:9
How to Work for Peace…
“Always be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other’s faults because of your love.” -Ephesians 5:2
1. Be HUMBLE
2. Be GENTLE
3. Be PATIENT
4. Be LOVING
WARNING!!! SERIOUS THREAT TO UNITY: GOSSIP
1 - Go directly to the person
2 - Team up and take someone with you
3 - Take it to church leadership
