How We Come

Pastor Ben's sermon is based on Philippians Chapter 2, which parallels Paul's speech on Mars Hill in Acts 17, emphasizing the human longing for unity and community. Ben outlines how Paul connects this longing to Christ and exhorts the congregation to complete his joy by being of one mind, showing humility, and considering others above themselves. Ben includes various cultural references, including John Lennon, Rocky IV, and the movie Zootopia, are used to illustrate the universal desire for peace and unity. He acknowledges the challenges and 'porcupine' difficulties of living in communal harmony. The service concludes with an interactive Communion ceremony where church members serve one another, reinforcing the message of unity and community in Christ.
