Its Friday, but Sundays Comin Selfishness is a word that characterizes our society today. People seem to be out for all they can get, even at the expense of others. Unfortunately, these forces for self-gratification are fed by many opportunistic forces in the commercial media. We are informed that we need and even deserve more than we have, and that getting more ought to be a high priority. In fact, many insist that getting more is why we are here. So people buy the lies and our society becomes even more self-centered. But while selfishness may characterize our society, it should never characterize the Church of Jesus Christ. In fact, instead of selfishness, we are to be characterized by selflessness. Just before Jesus went to the Cross, He made the following request in prayer to God on behalf of all Christians. (John 17:21-23a) that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one: I in them and you in me. May they be brought to complete unity … That was Jesus’ prayer for us! Join us this Sunday as we continue our series in the book of Romans: By His Grace-For His Glory. The message this week is from Romans 15:1-6, titled Unity in Diversity. Church starts at 10:30 am with Christian Education (Sunday School) begins at 9:30 am. columbiachurchofgod.org
