So That The World Will Believe

Rodney King asked the critical question, “Can’t we all just get along?!?!”

When Christians don’t get along, our message of love and peace and hope is, at best, confusing. People need to see and experience a unity that only comes from people who’ve been so transformed by God’s grace, they are actually graceful to others.

A week ago a few hundred people from different churches in our Valley got together at a local park to worship, enjoy each others company and hear what God’s word says about the importance of our unity. It was a great night.

“I pray that they will all be one, just as you and I are one—as you are in me, Father, and I am in you. And may they be in us so that the world will believe you sent me.” (John 17:21 NLT)

Our unity is not just to reduce our stress and make us happier. It’s a critical aspect of our SHOWING the world that those who follow Jesus are for real, and the message is worth listening too.

Take a moment and pray for some other churches in the Valley besides Community. When one part of the Body grows…we ALL WIN!
