     | 8,982 views

    Jesus constantly prays for us in the Holy of Holies. We too can reciprocate by constantly praying to God.

    The Church today honors the sacred memory of the 318 great fathers who gathered in the city of Nicaea for the First Ecumenical Council. This occurred in the year 325 AD. One of the most important things that happened at that gathering was putting into exact terms the Christian belief in Christ ...read more

    We can celebrate our denominational differences without it causing division because Jesus was clear in his prayer that we are to be unified in spirit and purpose.

    AUTHOR, CHUCK SWINDOLL, WROTE THAT “UNION HAS AN AFFILIATION WITH OTHERS BUT NO COMMON BOND THAT MAKES THEM ONE IN HEART. UNIFORMITY HAS EVERYONE LOOKING AND THINKING ALIKE. UNANIMITY IS COMPLETE AGREEMENT ACROSS THE BOARD. UNITY, HOWEVER, REFERS TO A ONENESS OF HEART, A SIMILARITY OF PURPOSE, AND ...read more

    Jesus Prayed For Complete Unity!

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on May 19, 2010
    based on 5 ratings
     | 5,336 views

    A short talk for a midweek Communion calling upon local believers to pray for, work for and live for the complete unity that Jesus prayed for. Not uniformity (because we're all different) but UNITY, in Jesus.

    Jesus prayed to his Heavenly Father for you. On the night he was betrayed and arrested (John 18:2), after he had washed his disciples’ feet (13:5), Jesus prayed an important prayer for you as individuals, for us together, and for the worldwide body of believers. He prayed for future ...read more

    God glorifies Jesus for the ultimate good of all things.

    Scripture Introduction When teaching his disciples how to pray, Jesus began by saying, “Pray then like this: ‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name….” Christians usually call that section of Scripture in Matthew 6 “The Lord’s Prayer.” In a sense, it ...read more

    based on 10 ratings
     | 10,111 views

    God’s love for his people is seen in the prayers of the Son.

    Scripture Introduction Someone said, “Trusting God does not mean believing that he will do what you want. It means believing that what he does is good.” The distinction delivers us from the error of demanding that God serve our desires like a genie in a bottle. Christians typically ...read more

    God saves our lives by conforming us to his Word by his Spirit.

    Scripture Introduction “The only way to keep a broken vessel full is by keeping the faucet turned on.” We are broken people. We may dress nicely to be seen by others, but the cracks remain even when plastered over. So Jesus asks God the Father to continue to sanctify us in the truth. ...read more

    God would have us pray and labor mightily for unity and peace in the church.

    Scripture Introduction Whatever Jesus prays for must weigh heavily on the hearts of all true believers. The Beloved Son of the Father in heaven, the second person of the Triune God, the incarnation of Word, the One who lived and died and rose again that those chosen by the Father might know the ...read more

    God unites us to one another with the same Gospel which unites us to himself.

    Scripture Introduction The Matterhorn rises 14,692 feet, one of the highest peaks in the Alps and also one of the world’s deadliest mountains. The climb is technical and difficult, and even though ropes are fixed on parts of the route to make it safer, each year several climbers fall to ...read more

    Fitting In

    Contributed by Dale Pilgrim on Feb 13, 2011
     | 7,212 views

    comedian Lenny Bruce gives our Christian psychology a metaphorical cattle prod shock when he said, “Every day people are straying away from the church and going back to God.’” I suspect it has a lot to do with fitting in.

    “Fitting In” John 17:11-19 I read the prologue to a story called Girl in the Middle. The girl is Kim Satinsky who is in eighth grade. She says, “You would think that being in a clique is fun but take my word for it: It’s not. They make me wear expensive things when I’m not really rich and tell me ...read more

    The Importance Of Christian Unity Series

    Contributed by Rich Anderson on Feb 16, 2011
    based on 5 ratings
     | 32,511 views

    All true believers have God’s glory within, no matter what they may look like on the outside. Christian unity is not based on the external, but the internal. The very Spirit of God within us.

    How important is unity in our individual lives? How important is unity in our church? Jesus had a lot to say about the importance of unity. If Christians cannot be unified, then we are not approaching one another in love. And we cannot be a good witness for Christ if we are bickering with one ...read more

    The Power of Together John 17:20-26 This morning I want to speak with you on "The Power of Together." It seems to me, the older I get the greater appreciation I have for the power of doing things together with others. God never intended us to travel this journey we call life alone.

    This Sermon is an encouragement to live out our faith in the midst of a world that is hostile to followers of Christ.

    Sermon 052409 Every now and then, you hear about someone who makes a lasting tribute to a loved one. Jack Benny comes to mind. He made arrangements that upon his death, flowers would be sent to his wife every day for the rest of her life. Makes the rest of us look bad, I know! Sometimes ...read more
