Unity begins in the mind—how we think about God, ourselves, and one another. Philippians 2 calls us to “be like-minded, having the same love, being one in Spirit and of one mind”. But Paul also warns against the enemies of unity: selfish ambition, vain conceit, grumbling, and divisiveness. These behaviors hurt our unity by fracturing our community and distorting our witness of Jesus. Instead of this we are invited to adopt the mindset of Jesus—humble, obedient, and self-giving. In John 10, Jesus speaks of being the Good Shepherd who draws all people into one flock under one voice. True Unity of mind doesn't mean uniformity—it means living with our Shepherd at the center, aligning our thoughts with His love and mission, and resisting the pride and division that could pull us apart.

Why do we have such a problem with unity in the church today?
Nathan & Charissa take a biblical look at the seriousness of sin, the need for repentance, and what needs to happen for true unity to take place.
Jesus said one of the signs of the end times is the love of many growing cold. We are rapidly approaching a time when brothers and sisters in the Lord will offend, betray, and hate one another. This is a call for true unity and genuine love among believers as love grows cold.Show Notes:Oswald Chambers: Click here for his books & devotionals, including My Utmost for His Highest.Please remember to rate and subscribe to the podcast.

In Week 2 of our “Jesus is King” series, we explore how the unifying power of Christ reshapes our relationships, bringing us together as one family under God. In a world so often marked by division and isolation, Jesus calls us to an uncommon unity that transcends backgrounds, opinions, and even conflicts. Through His life and teachings, we find that unity in Christ is not simply tolerance or harmony but a deep and enduring connection forged by His love and sacrifice. As followers of Jesus, we're invited to reflect this unity, standing as a powerful testimony of God's kingdom to the world. Join us as we look at how we can actively live out this calling and bring hope, peace, and reconciliation to those around us.

The biblical accounts of the Tower of Babel and the alliances of the kings of Israel provide powerful lessons on the nature of unity. Unity that arises from rebellion, lawlessness, or deviation from God's will is not endorsed by Scripture. True unity, as defined by the Bible, is rooted in faithfulness to God's commandments and purposes. The church today must prioritise doctrinal integrity and godly living over mere numerical strength or superficial harmony. By doing so, it will remain aligned with God's will and be a true reflection of His kingdom on earth. True unity, grounded in sound doctrine and righteous living, is essential for the church to fulfil its divine mission and witness effectively to the world. #brendonnaicker #swindonchurch #churchunity

The Ceremony of True Unity The post 1 Corinthians 11:17-34 The Ceremony of True Unity appeared first on ReCAST Church.
Unity of knowledge is not a politically correct concept, especially when it comes to claims about knowing anything about the Son of God. Plenty of churches desire unity when it comes to “common care,” but few churches desire unity when it comes to “common convictions.”

In this episode, guest speaker Steve Aldrich continues our series in Ephesians 4 by focusing on the unity of believers in Christ and emphasizing the Lord's will for the church to be united and function as one.
In this episode of Theology Applied, Pastor Voddie Baucham and Pastor Joel Webbon discuss the “Old Fault Lines” and the quickly emerging “New Fault Lines.”At one point in the conversation, Joel asks Voddie this question: “How can we gain unity with our brothers on these important issues?” Voddie's response was simple: “Division is Good.” Voddie continued by insightfully pointing out that theological division eventually forces Christian brothers to debate the “substance” of each other's arguments. And this… eventually by God's grace… brings about further theological clarity and TRUE UNITY.To watch Voddie Baucham's new teaching series, where he further fleshes out the principles in his book “Fault Lines,” go to https://watch.salemnow.com/series/tkhAeeI18CM0-fault-lines.
We've spent the majority of our year together in the book of Acts. As we are quickly approaching the Christmas season, we look to Acts 4:32-37 to see a picture of how Christmas brings everything together.
2022 Conference entitled The Causes Of Deviation & The Importance Of Unity. Held at Masjid Abi Hurairah, Stoke-on-Trent on Saturday 22th October 2022.
Spurgeon's new year sermons have a lovely tone to them. Some are more consolatory, others more exhortatory, but all tend to lift up the eyes and fix them on God in Christ, calling the saints to think and speak and act in the light of their covenant mercies in the year that lies before them. This sermon is no different. Spurgeon is well aware that the Adversary will by all means sow the seeds of dissension and division and among the people of God, and so here he reminds us of the unity of the Spirit that we should pursue, that this unity needs to be preserved, guarded, invested in, and that the Spirit's unity must be kept “in the bond of peace.” All this leads to some practical counsels and encouragements to God's people—counsels and encouragements which are as significant and valuable today as they were when the preacher first delivered them on the first day of 1865 in London.
