Sunday, May 20, 2012 Modern Church Family "Practice Makes Perfect" PHILIPPIANS 4:4-9Text: A modern church family fix their vision and sight on God's goodness and practice living in the example of Christ. (Phil 4:2 urges us to agree with one another and above else, no matter what our differences, to keep the main thing the main thing in letting our gentleness be evident to all. Paul urges the church family to keep doing the things that they have learned, what is true, honorable, just, pure, creating a partnership between oneself, God and others. In doing so they move beyond people who merely worship next to one another, but a community committed to one another for the purpose of being Christ's agents in the world. How they learned to see the importance of others, understand each others worth and assets, to listen to one anothers' stories and accept each other through the grace of Christ, and commit to one another - will be the foundation for which a congregation will move into their community and serve as a Christ's representatives in seeking community transformation.
