The Second Pledge
I will seek to be a source of unity in my church. I know there are no perfect pastors, staff, or other church members. But neither am I. I will not b a source of gossip or dissension. One of the greatest contributions I can make is to do all I can in God's power to help keep the church in unity for the sake of the gospel.

I will Not Let my Church Be about My Preferences and Desires
|
A. Unity - Not optional
Mark 10:45 - Jesus did not come to be served but to serve - Jesus washes disciples feet B. Ephesians 3:7 - Paul was made a servant -> by God's grace -> by H.S. (Holy Spirit) C. Matthew 28: 19 - 20 - Great Commission D. Philippians 2:1 - 11 - Cultivate mind of Christ i. We are to be servants ii. We are to be obedient iii. We are to put others first iiii. We are to do whatever it takes to keep the unity in our church. |
The Third Pledge
I will not let my church be about my preferences and desires. That is self - serving. I am a member in this church to serve others and to serve Christ. My Savior went to a cross for me. I can deal with any inconveniences and matters that just aren't my preference or style.
