In this illuminating sermon about New Testament letters and their application to church unity, the message explores how biblical writers used linking words like "therefore" and "because" to connect spiritual truths with practical living.

The sermon centers on Steel City Church's framework called "The Ways," which guides believers in learning and living like Jesus through three dimensions: lifestyles (connecting with God, investing in others, and engaging non-believers), identities (as uniters and givers), and practical guideposts (belong, speak, bear, serve, steward, sacrifice). The message emphasizes how understanding the gospel - God's redemptive plan through Jesus Christ - should transform how believers live, particularly in their relationship with the church.

Drawing from key passages in Romans, Ephesians, and Colossians, the sermon outlines three crucial aspects of being a "uniter" in the church: embracing the church with a sense of belonging, equipping the church by speaking truth in love, and embodying Christ to the church by bearing with one another. The message reinforces that God's plan to make Jesus known to the world is through the church - a diverse, global movement of believers united in purpose.

Through practical applications from these New Testament letters, the sermon guides believers in understanding how to live out their faith as active, unifying members of Christ's church.
