Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! Psa 133:1 Can two walk together, unless they are agreed? Amos 3:3

Now I plead with you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment. For it has been declared to me concerning you, my brethren, by those of Chloe's household, that there are contentions among you. 1 Cor 1:10-11

I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called, with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. Eph 4:1-3

If therefore there is any encouragement in Christ, if there is any consolation of love, if there is any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and compassion, make my joy complete by being of the same mind, maintaining the same love, united in spirit, intent on one purpose. Phil 2:1-2

Jn 10:30 Jn 17:20-21a I and My Father are one. I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word; that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You… Jn 17:20-21a

UNITY A precious commodity The real strength behind any collective effort It doesn’t exist by accident

UNITY We must be unified in purpose as well as in effort to be successful We desire unity at this place in our work & worship

Most of all, we must be unified with God to live with Him eternally UNITY Most of all, we must be unified with God to live with Him eternally

We trust we all have come this morning with a “unified” purpose… …to worship God as He has taught us in His word, and to strengthen the ties that “unify” us.
