Family Worship Service - Next Sunday
Next Sunday is the fifth Sunday of the month!

On this special Sunday, please grab an activity bag for your small child or a service sheet for your student and come ready to worship together. Nursery Room, WC 107, will be available for use.
Need a Quiet Place to Pray?
When the building is open, the Next Step Room is available if you’d like a quiet place to pray. The only exception is Tuesday mornings during the school year for BSF.

“My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, 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 – so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.
Big Idea:
When we live in unity with Jesus and one another, the kingdom of God comes on earth.

Church unity matters to Jesus.
Without church unity, we risk missing our purpose in the world and can fall out of alignment with what Jesus desires for His church.

1. Unity stems from reflecting and participating in the triune Godhead.
If I could define church unity it would be that -
Church unity involves collectively sharing Jesus’ love for His church. This includes receiving God’s love, loving one another as Jesus loved us, empowered by the indwelling presence of God. Church unity also involves sharing that love with the world around us.

Unity with one another is an active participation in the unity of God.
1. Unity shares the glory of Jesus and the Father.
We have to choose to have the hard conversations, choose to forgive one another, choose to have compassion on another.
Choose to invite the glory of God, the presence of God, into our relationships with one another.

Questions to consider:
1. In what ways am I resistant to unity with my brothers and sisters?
2. What, if anything, is applying pressure to my pursuit of unity? (Fears? Frustrations?) - and if so, lay them at Jesus’ feet and ask that he would align you with His heart for his church
3. Am I contributing positively or negatively to church unity?
