We are One

our We Are One series challenged us to embrace the unity God calls His church to live out. We began by setting a vision for church unity, recognizing that we are one body made up of many unique parts, each with a vital role in God’s Kingdom. We reflected on the sanctity of life, affirming the value of every person as created in God’s image. Finally, we concluded by focusing on our shared mission—to work together in spreading the gospel and making disciples. Unity is not just an ideal; it’s a calling that shapes how we love, serve, and fulfill God’s purpose. As we move forward, may we continue walking in unity, building one another up, and reflecting Christ’s love in all we do.

Day 2: Empowerment by the Holy Spirit
 
The Holy Spirit empowers us to fulfill our mission. This empowerment is dynamic and ongoing, providing the strength and guidance needed to be effective witnesses for Christ. As we practice our faith, we grow in our ability to share the gospel and live out our mission. The Holy Spirit equips us with the necessary tools and courage to step out in faith, even when we feel inadequate. This empowerment is not just for personal growth but for the edification of the church and the expansion of God’s kingdom.
 
“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” (Acts 1:8, ESV)
 
Reflection: In what areas of your life do you need to rely more on the Holy Spirit’s empowerment, and how can you invite Him to guide you today?
