Unity - The Power of ONE

Acts 1-4

 

Acts 4:32-33  All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of his possessions was his own, but they shared everything they had. With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and much grace was upon them all.

 

Relationships are hard. Jesus knew it would be impossible to be truly unified in our families, marriages, friendships, and in our churches without his presence. When the Holy Spirit came upon this rag tag bunch of Jesus followers on Pentecost they were suddenly filled with the power of ONE Lord. This changed everything!

What does this mean for us today? Can we know the kind of unity that first group of disciples knew on Pentecost? How do we resolve conflict, reconcile division, and live out God%u2019s plan in our relationships? Join us on Sundays during the month of May as we discover spiritual principles from the book of Acts for unifying relationships.
