Called in one hope of your calling one Lord One Faith one baptism one God and Father of all who is above all and through all and in you all but unto every one of us is given Grace unto the measure of the gift of Christ wherefore he says when he ascended up on
High he led captivity captive and gave gifts unto them men now that he ascended what is it but that he also descended first unto the lower parts of the earth he that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens and he that might fill all things and he gave
Some Apostles and some prophets and some evangelists and some pastors and teachers for the perfecting of the Saints for the work of the ministry for the edifying of the body of Christ till we all come in the unity of faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God unto a
Perfect man unto the measure of the statute of the fullness of Christ that we henceforth be no more children tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of Doctrine by the slight of men and cunning craftiness whereby they lie in weight to deceive but the speaking the
Truth and love may grow up into him in all things which is the head even Christ from whom the whole body fitly joined together and capacity by that which every joint supplieth according to the effectual working in the measure of every part making increase of the body
Into the edifying of itself in love this I say therefore and testify in the Lord that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk in the unity of their mind having the understanding darking being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them
Because of the blindness of their heart who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lavishness to work all uncleanness and greediness but ye have not so learn Christ if so be that ye have heard him and have been taught by him as the truth is in Jesus that ye
Put off concerning the former conversation the old man which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusters and be renewed in the spirit of your mind and that ye put on a new man which after God is created in righteousness and true Holiness thank you for reading for today

Welcome thank you we want to thank everyone who has participated on the program so far and we will now uh I will now introduce our speaker of the hour sister Virgie Brooks is grateful to have celebrated her 49y year membership with the new birth family this year what a milestone what a
Milestone she has had the privilege of serving with our illustrious all of our illustrious three pastors Pastor George prior Pastor Michael prior and now Pastor Joshua prior she has had that privilege you guys of serving under all of these three pastors God has allowed her to use her career background in
Financial services and administration to work on projects with each of these pastors the staff and members as we work on our Church’s mission of serving God sister Virgie counts as her greatest joy as being a mother and a grandmother and all of us who are mothers and grandmothers we truly understand that
It’s just such a blessing to be a mother and then to be a grandmother so sister Virgie we ask you to just come up and speak from your heart I praise God from whom all blessings flow I want to as always thank God for this privilege I can’t say it
Enough to Sister Taylor and to all of those that have given me this opportunity it means a lot to me when you’ve been around a long time all you really look forward to doing is just sitting down but I just thank God that they give me that opportunity and to
Everything that is going on before this time has been so much a part of what I really wanted to already say sister Iris Johnson read out of Ephesians and so much of what has been said is what I’ve wanted to talk about so that as we explore the theme that we’ve been given
From First Corinthians uh I think that our Mistress of ceremony has already read it for us where I want to take the emphasis is in the latter part of that verse it Says and that there be no divisions among you but there that you be be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment so when I stumble around you know that I’ve got new glasses and you just please help me with that but one of the things I
Thought about and I had a chance to tell pastor Joshua prior when I came in you know how you write down things everything you want to say and I had an opportunity to work with him on a project yesterday and I always think that the dynamic nature of his sermons I
Had just like all of us I had a chance to hear him preach his first sermon and the dynamic nature of his sermons make it so real to us because it’s something that we can feel so well that sermon he preached to me yesterday while he was not in the
Pulpit it was a sermon that I could feel because it was something that he was trying to direct me on and give leadership to you know how you hear a sermon and sometimes the only thing you can say is ouch it was one of those ouch sermons
Because again what you want to be able to do is step back and say to him that it is his time to lead and not remind him at all about what things that we’ve done here before one of the things that he has a dynamic vision for our church
And when he reaches out to those young people I can’t help but feel like most of you that that could be my child and so I thank God for him so that ouch I felt it it was needed and what I want to say is that the theme is timely
For us today living together in unity and it is especially for me given that story from yesterday many of us have experienced Unity uh of various types in our families in our sororities and for fraternities on our sports teams and social organizations we are created to find
Happiness and meaning by being a part of and unified with something bigger than ourselves but Unity based on these things fall short of what God demands what is Christian Unity why is it important why is it how is it expressed in our lives Christian Unity is based on shared life in Jesus
Christ it is the major source of our Christian witness in the world and is expressed through our common love of Jesus the purpose and Mission in John 17 Jesus prayed that those who believe in him would be one even as he and the father are one that the glory that the
Father father gave to Jesus would be in us that the love which the father loved Jesus would be in us and that the unity and glory and love would bring nonbelievers to faith in him as our church continues to grow we must maintain and continue growing in Christian
Unity Jesus’s prayer was answered when the Holy Spirit baptized all believers into one body of Christ and Jesus also prays that Believers may be perfected in unity through our growth in our faith our theme focuses on one of the most important issues that Paul addresses in this letter to the church at
Corinth he emphasizes in Part B of the verse that we should be joined together and I would like to emphasize that we’re joined together by the unity of our purpose Christians can be thankful today that God has provided the structure for the unity of the church the church
Universal and especially we thank God he has provided for us the opportunity for Unity here at New Birth Missionary Baptist Church uh because we have the message of the Gospel over these years we take it for granted that we hear about the death burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ
Each week but over 60 years can you imagine what we could be able to tell the church at Corinth that was less than two years old while they had their divisions over what things should be taught we’ve 60 years and we’re hearing the same message consistently we shouldn’t take that for granted we
Should always thank God that we have that opportunity um let me go back and I say to Y please I’m trying to read Christians can be thankful today yes and God for his word and his sermon yesterday taught me not to take the consistency of the message for granted
If each of us is growing closer to God and following his teaching then we will become more more and more united with one another we read in our theme scripture and in other passages of scripture in First Corinthians Paul sets it out for us for in one Spirit we were
All baptized into one body the purpose and source of our Unity again is Jesus Christ the new birth is the basis of our unity and we must be diligent to preserve it throughout his letters emphasizes the importance of unity among Believers his teachings include the Sevenfold Unity
The church should have there is one body of Believers that’s number one there is one body of Believers and all body joined together and that’s in First Corinthians chapter uh I’m sorry First Corinthians chapter 12 number two we have one Spirit and the Holy Spirit within each of us strives to
Get us all to live in Christian Unity with each other the third element for Unity is one hope the hope of every Christian is Jesus Christ who is in heaven he has promised us that simply by believing in him for eternal life we will bring he will bring us to heaven to
Spend eternity with him the fourth element is one Lord Jesus Christ we are taught as Believers Jesus Is Our Savior who was who has saved us from our sins and given us the gift of eternal life as Lord Of Our Lives Jesus Christ has Authority and sovereignty over our lives
Unity carries with Unity comes when we obey him one Faith The Fifth Element is one faith we we have have received eternal life through the narrow Door of Faith Faith creates the Level Playing Field and no one can boast in themselves for salvation faith is a wonderful element of Christian Unity because since
We are Christians by faith there’s no one can boast in themselves for their salvation this is a wonderful source of unity because since we are all Christians by faith then no one can boast you can tell like I’m reading again that slipping eyes one baptism the
Sixth Element is one baptism of the Holy Spirit who comes to live in us the moment we accept Christ he washes us and cleanses us and he provides us with the power to have victory over sin we see that Unity we strive for is different and then lastly our leader is Jesus and
Our team the kingdom of God are are Eternal so that what should have been a source of unity for the church at Corinth was actually the source of division so that what they used for their factions they set up they had a way of trying to divide themselves among each
Other some would follow Paul others would follow Apollos others Peter Still others claim to follow claimed to follow Jesus Paul the Apostle used a beautiful metaphor when he wrote to the Corinthians he said I planted seed Apollo watered but God gave the increase in this analogy Paul represents
The initial proclamation of the Gospel the planning of the C seed he introduced the people in Corinth to the message of forgiveness of sin through faith in Christ just as a farmer SS seed Paul sowed the seeds of Faith Apollo on the other hand represents the ongoing nurturing and teaching he
Watered the seed that Paul had planted Apollos continued to build upon the foundation made by Paul but the most crucial part of the process was God’s role it was god who caused the growth the spiritual transformation the deepening of faith and flourishing of the church all of it
Was orchestrated by God so the grand scheme of things it is not about who planted or who watered ultimately it’s God who brings about the increase the grow both of Faith Like A nurturing like a flourishing Vine or a fruitful tree is a Divine work and may we remember that
In our own lives whether we’re planting seeds watering or s or simply being faithful witnesses that it is God who gives the increase while this letter was directed specifically to the church to this church the church at cin we are as much of Paul’s audience today we have to understand that Unity
Is theologically crucial Jesus passionately prayed that his followers would be one and that’s what we talked about before in John chapter 17 so that the world may believe that you have sent me our witness comes out of our demonstration of our Unity Christian Unity is rooted in Christ’s own Unity
With his father it is a powerful witness a unified church is one of the strongest evidences of the truth of the Gospel this is especially true in a world that is as fragmented and divisive as ours tends to be Unity is a critical manifestation of a spirit empowered
Church it is why Paul wrote to the Corinthians in our theme I appeal to you Brothers by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ that all of you agree and I’m repeating it and that there be no divisions but that you be United in the same mind and in the same judgment where
Division might normally Reign Unity should instead lead to an uncommon love where Believers listen to and bear with one another by this all people will know you are my disciples said Jesus we start with that as the foundation then we rely we have the benefit now of having the Bible as our
Guide so that while the church at Corinth didn’t have the final Bible we have the benefit of having the Bible as our guide so these resources should be used by US now to to avoid some of the problems that the church at Corinth faced we have the inherent word of God
Sunday after Sunday Reverend Joshua at the 10:30 service teaches us that we should rely on God’s word we have tools that have been given to us over the years we have our covenant we have our statement of faith we have classes throughout the week um and I always
Think of how long we have had we used to have Baptist training Union too but how long we’ve had classes one of the classes I think about is the Open Bible study we take it for granted but Pastor said at the old site that the reason why
He called it that is that he wanted to make sure that as Christians we didn’t just take the word that he was given us and just swallow it he said open the Bible read it for yourself s allow the Holy Spirit to give us an illumination
So so now that we have those tools to to guide us we don’t have any excuses we should be ready for being the kind of witnesses that we should be When We Were Young that’s what I thought about when sister clark was saying plan it I was 17
And Pastor didn’t trust us to really go and witness in the traditional sense he made flyers for us and we would go door too and when anybody would have a question for us he would tell us to say come to church so so that was the easy way for
Us to witness and as we get ready for Revival and as we’re talking about our 60 years here we know that we have the opportunity to witness to our community finally we look at the scripture Our model Mission uh has given us and we end by saying what sister
Florence Taylor tells us at each meeting what does she tell us working together works that’s one of the things that we should always rely on that working together works why were they divided I I think about that a lot of the times and I thought about at our
Black history program how well the children were able to demonstrate the ability to work together and especially with the last presentation that the three young people made to Pastor Joshua they were so in sync the spoken word the instrument the illustration they were all working together and then at the end
Of it they wanted to be able children they wanted to be able to inspire our pastor to let him know that they were with him and praying with him so it meant so much that we have that already in our young people that he’s developing
Them in a way that would help us to see the future for our church um then uh and that was Sister Ruby Bill she always has that wisdom to be able to to use our young people what I thought of when I said that about what sister Taylor always
Talks to us about that rather than using our differences to divide us what if what if the church at Corinth had used their differences to grow the church what if each of them had used what they knew about the Lord Jesus Christ to bring men into to the church the church
At Corinth had a challenging uh responsibility the Corinth the city of Corinth was a metropolitan City it was busy it had 400,000 citizens in its population one of the biggest cities in its area so that rather than use their gifts to divide each other why not use their gifts as a method for
Evangelism Paul and the other Business Leaders that were around him Paul worked as a Tent Maker in addition to what he did with evangelism he W worked as a tent maker with Aquilla and Priscilla and so they had the opportunity to go and and that’s ambitious to go into a a
Metropolitan city that was corrupt like Corinth had the reputation like Corinth but they could go and have that kind of conversation where they could start that conversation with those Business Leaders in Corinth Apollos was eloquent in his speaking and among those in Corinth there were uh philosophers and the
Elitist among them so that they were known for being an elite environment so that rather than they divide Paul and divide Paul his team which was quillin Priscilla and Khloe who actually made the report about what was going on in the city of Corinth why don’t they all
Use each of their gifts and either and even with Peter he was relatable to the Jewish converts because he had discipled so many Jewish uh people into Christianity so each of them had a role to play and so when I read about what they said about each had their
Role Paul didn’t Begin by dividing them he actually began by saying why don’t we use our diversity of gifts why don’t we take this opportunity to reach men for Jesus Christ so we still have that opportunity today and he ends by saying what’s most important don’t worry about
It Jesus is doing the heavy lifting he said and I if I be lifted up I’ll drop so that’s where we are today we know that story we tell that story we live that story and that’s what we s when we fall down like Reverend Joshua reminded me yesterday when we fall down
I have all this group of people and many more who will help me to stand up and then they’ll allow me to use whatever gifts I have and God forgives me every day I have brand new Mercy I need it I have brand new mercy and then I have the people around me
