Today, we had Grace's pastor come and speak to us today. Pastor Jacob gave a message based on Philippians 2:1-18 about being like-minded as Christ. He gave various examples such as the United Airline, United States, and the United Kingdom to emphasize the importance of unity within Christians. A house divided against itself cannot stand. In the same way, we need to be united with each other. Then, how do we achieve unity? We first individually need to be rooted in our relationship with Jesus. Then we need to "Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit..." as verse three says and consider others better than ourselves. We need to humble ourselves and serve others. Though it seems to be the least rewarding job, Jesus said the least will be the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven. Pastor Jacob also emphasized how what we do is important. Though it may be unrecognized by others, we are advancing the Kingdom of God. Let's pray that God may move in Roosevelt because he has great plans for it!
