Use this space to take your general notes during the message.

We are in week 4 of our Mission Critical series. Last week, Gina spoke about the Last Supper and how important it is for us to love while being open and kind with one another! This week we are going to be talking about Unity and why it is so critical that we live in unity.

Ice Breaker: Reflect on our lives in 2024. What is it about our humanity and society that makes it so easy to get divided?

We begin in the book of John, right after the Last Supper. Jesus is in the Garden of Gethsemane, praying to his Father in Heaven right before he is betrayed, arrested and sentenced to the cross. Read John 17:20-23 NLT. Why is it so vital that Followers of Jesus live in unity?

For the world to know about Jesus, and for the world to know God loves them, we have to be one. It's not always easy, but it's a choice we have to make everyday. Below are 5 tips that can help us live in unity. Think about your own life and current circumstances, which ones do you need to lean into and work on?
1. Center back on Jesus.
2. Who do I need to unite with?
3. Make a plan & take the step.
4. Keep pursuing unity.
5. Remember who the enemy is.

It is easy to feel United when you're are at church worshiping with other believers. But it is more challenging to keep it going when we go into the hustle and bustle of our lives. How can you implement steps in your life to keep the message of Jesus front and center in the day-to-day?

Take some time and pray to our Heavenly Father. Ask Him to reveal next steps that you can take to help you live in unity with Him, Jesus and those around you.
