I'm deeply concerned about how arrogant many of my colleagues and many of their churches are,

where we have come to just treat with disdain people and things because they're not in our camp,

whatever that camp is.

And I just think that so dishonors the Lord Jesus Christ.

Nothing can damage a relationship so quickly or so thoroughly as pride.

Hello and welcome to Destin for Victory,

where we feature the preaching ministry of Pastor Paul Shepard.

You know, when you look at the life of Jesus Christ,

you never once see him behave in an arrogant or judgmental manner,

not even to those the world would call the worst of sinners.

He never condoned sin, and yet he never condemned the sinner. This is an

area in which all of us could use a little improvement, and that's where we'll focus our attention

in today's message. Remember to come see us at Pastor Paul.net to listen to Destin for Victory

Now, let's pay close attention to Pastor Paul's Destined for Victory message,

The Call to Unity.

How to Achieve Unity in the recent messages we've covered the first two points about achieving the unity that God has called us all as followers of Christ to walk in.

And the first was to accept others as equals.

You can't walk in unity with people while at the same time having this stiff arm

attitude toward them. You've got to be accepting. You've got to learn to embrace people for who

they are and that they are subject to the love of God. They are the objects of God's love.

How dare you reject somebody God loves?
