Session 2: unity

SUMMARY OF VIDEO CONTENT

Unity described in Psalm 133:1-3 PT- “heavenly harmony” -the precious power of unity.

Unity is having feeling for and acknowledging we affect one another. 1 Cor 12:26

Unity means no one is left out and our task is to encourage and build each other up in our faith. 1 Thess 5:11

Unity helps us see that we all play a part in that which is bigger than ourselves: Christ’s Church in the earth.

Unity takes effort. Eph 4:2 “endeavor (make every effort, eager, faithful to guard, do your best) to keep the unity.” It begins with humility, longsuffering, and we must work at it.

Make note of those who cause divisions and offenses that affect the unity of the believers. Rom 16:17

Unity is founded upon our being together in Christ. Eph 2:4

Ecc.4:9-12 Two are better than one. Three benefits of being together in unity. a) Our work is better, we can accomplish more. b) Our walk is better, lifted if we fall. c) Our warfare - fight against the enemy.
