We take the next steps in our walk toward unity this Sunday! Last Sunday, Pastor Mark did such an excellent job of bringing us to the point of agreeing that being ONE BODY is such an important part of our calling to live lives that make much of Jesus. Our ONE series is right out of the Apostle Paul’s letter to the church in Ephesus where he reminds us to hold on to the things that unite us and make us one. He wants us to walk in unity, and when we do we become a force of harmony and a witness for Jesus to all to whom we meet. This Sunday we get to look at what it means to have ONE SPIRIT. Remember, unity is not a self-produced reality. It’s not about willing ourselves to treat one another better. Instead, it’s a Spirit-driven purpose. God places His Spirit in all who say YES to Jesus, and one of the roles of the Holy Spirit is to transform or shape us to look like Jesus. I’m excited to focus on the fact that there is ONE SPIRIT available as we walk toward unity with one another.
We introduced our 2023 Church Prayer on January 8. Will you join us in praying for the impact of our church in this coming year? Prayer can be a unifying activity as we engage together in doing the same thing each week for an entire year. This prayer challenge can be a catalyst for unity as we come before God with the same prayers five days per week for 52 weeks. I am eager to see how God is going to use this. You can get access to the 2023 prayer here.
