Unshakeable Purpose

In today’s world, division is widespread, and unfortunately, this disunity is affecting the Church as well. We often find ourselves divided over issues that aren’t central to the gospel—such as politics, traditions, and personal preferences. So, how do we stay united despite these disagreements? In the first century, the church in Philippi faced similar challenges, and Paul wrote to them to encourage unity and like-mindedness. He pointed them to the example of Jesus. Though fully divine, He humbled Himself by setting aside His divine privileges, becoming fully human, and obediently dying on the cross—a sacrifice that brought glory to God. Through His humility and selfless love, Jesus demonstrated the kind of unity we are called to embody as His followers. To be truly unified, we must emulate His humility. From humility, to unity, to God’s glory.
