Let's always remember to never forget our identity in Christ through the gospel. When we do, we understand we are being joined together and built together into the dwelling place of God by His Spirit.
We are prone to forget, so when the church gathers together for the gospel, God provides us with physical, tangible reminders to anchor us in Christ. Baptism serves as a one-time declaration of our identification with Christ and His body. Communion is an ongoing practice that allows us to give thanks, remember, and proclaim the Lord's death.
People naturally gather together—whether it's with family or friends, or over shared interests, meaningful causes, or global events, like the Olympics. But have you considered why we come together as a local church? We unite together for the gospel. Over the next three weeks, we'll explore how this truth can transform our lives and impact the world.

Pastor Ted Traylor delivers a message at Olive Baptist Church on March 10, 2024, utilizing Romans 15:1-21 as his primary text.
Philippians 1:19-26 ESVTo Live Is ChristYes, and I will rejoice, 19 for I know that through your prayers and the help of the Spirit of Jesus Christ this will turn out for my deliverance, 20 as it is my eager expectation and hope that I will not be at all ashamed, but that with full courage now as always Christ will be honored in my body, whether by life or by death. 21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. 22 If I am to live in the flesh, that means fruitful labor for me. Yet which I shall choose I cannot tell. 23 I am hard pressed between the two. My desire is to depart and be with Christ, for that is far better. 24 But to remain in the flesh is more necessary on your account. 25 Convinced of this, I know that I will remain and continue with you all, for your progress and joy in the faith, 26 so that in me you may have ample cause to glory in Christ Jesus, because of my coming to you again.

David Schrock is the Pastor for Preaching and Theology at Occoquan Bible Church in Woodbridge, VA, and a professor at Indianapolis Theological Seminary. Like many pastors, he was encouraged to read a little book called “Divided by Faith” many years ago. After careful biblical and theological reflection, David has published a book that is a point-by-point rebuttal to “Divided by Faith” called “Dividing the Faithful.” We discuss what led him to reevaluate the understanding many evangelicals have been sold regarding race in the church and highlight key errors in “Divided by Faith.”Support the show!! - https://www.patreon.com/chasedavisDividing the Faithful - https://amzn.to/40LfImxChrist Over All - https://christoverall.com/Follow David on Twitter - https://twitter.com/DavidSchrockSupport the showSign up for the Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/chasedavisFollow Full Proof Theology on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/fullprooftheology/Follow Full Proof Theology on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/fullprooftheology/
Bible Study Don't just take our word for it . . . take His! We would encourage you to spend time examining the following Scriptures that shaped this sermon: . Sermon Notes From Genesis 1 and 2, we learn that men and women together, in partnership, are called by God to bear his image and carry out his purposes in the world. They are equal but have different, complementary strengths and roles. Two interpretations of 1 Timothy 2:12 - “I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet.” This is a universal teaching for the church in every place and every time. It restricts women from serving in positions of leadership which exercise authority through teaching and preaching (typically a pastor/sr. pastor). Strengths – straightforward reading of the text, even if unpopular. Emphasizes the complementarity of men and women from Genesis 2. Weaknesses – hard to be consistent in application. Some churches are overly restrictive, going beyond the Bible's teaching. Others are minimally restrictive - only restricting women from serving as a senior pastor or a bishop. Further reading on this interpretation: Kathy Keller, Jesus, Justice, and Gender Roles; Robert Yarbrough, The Letters to Timothy and Titus, Pillar New Testament Commentary This is a localized teaching for the church in Ephesus. It does not apply to all churches in every place. Therefore women can serve in positions of leadership, including as senior pastors who preach and teach. This interpretation is reached by examining the cultural situation in Ephesus. Strengths – emphasizes the equality of men and women from Genesis 1. Takes cultural background research seriously. Weaknesses – hard to reconstruct cultural situation. Conclusions can often be speculative. Sometimes this interpretation applies the background of the text, rather than the actual words. Background study is not normally meant to overturn the plain reading of the text, but to provide nuance and depth. Further reading on this interpretation: Michael Bird, Bourgeois Babes, Bossy Wives, and Bobby Haircuts; Philip Towner, The Letters of Timothy and Titus, The New International Commentary on the New Testament Side note on 1 Tim 2:15 - "she will be saved through childbearing…" Paul is NOT saying that a woman receives eternal salvation by having a baby! We know this from numerous other passages where Paul clearly teaches that salvation is by grace through faith in the finished work of Christ. Paul may be referring back to Genesis 3 and the consequences of the fall for Eve/women which was pain in childbirth. He may also be responding to false teaching from the ancient sexual revolution which devalued marriage and motherhood. Further reading: see Yarbrough and Towner commentaries referenced above Application 1 - we need to allow Scripture to critique and correct our culturally generated perspectives. Whether we come from a more traditional perspective or we have been influenced by the feminist movement, the Bible offers a more beautiful and profound story about men and women as an expression of God's creative glory. Application 2 – God's mission requires that men and women served together in partnership to advance the kingdom. Even if there is a restriction on women from serving in particular leadership roles (and there may not be depending on interpretation), the contributions, gifts, and leadership of women is essential for the mission. Sermon Application Explain equality and complementarity between men and women from Genesis 1&2 in your own words. What is your background with women serving as pastors in the church? Has your mind changed over time? Where do you base your beliefs? What does it look like to treat other churches with a different interpretation than yours with charity and humility? Has your gender kept you from offering your gifts and leadership in the local church?
Team work… Paul's gospel team: Real people in real relationships working hard for the kingdom of God in partnership together fuelled by God's grace Grace be with you!
This message was the first in a new series called 'One Thing' working through Paul's letter to the Philippians. The passage is Philippians 1:1-11 . Ellen sets the context …
As Paul gets into the main body of his letter, he calls the believers to strive together for the gospel, but our passage shows us that there are a couple of things we need in order to do that.
