“How To Get Along When We Don’t Get Along”* Ephesians 4:1-6

As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received.

Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.

Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.

There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to one hope when you were called—one Lord one faith, one baptism;

One God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.

How do we live a life worthy of our calling? Ephesians 4:1-4

Unity is not a call to uniformity Mark 10:6-9

God hates disunity Proverbs 6:16-19

Unity is a requirement, not an option* Ephesians 4:1-4

Unity is commanded by Jesus John 17:20-23
