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 3: Embrace Interdependence in the Church
 
In a culture that often values independence, Christians are called to embrace interdependence, relying on one another in love and service. This interdependence is crucial for the church to function effectively and fulfill its mission. By supporting and serving fellow believers, a spirit of unity and cooperation is fostered, allowing the church to thrive. This interconnectedness extends beyond the local church to the global body of Christ, uniting believers across cultural and ethnic differences under the lordship of Christ.
 
Romans 12:4-5 (ESV): “For as in one body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function, so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another.”
 
Reflection: In what ways can you rely on and support others in your church community? How can you cultivate a spirit of interdependence in your relationships?
