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: Selflessness in Community
 
Living in community means supporting one another and putting others before ourselves. This selflessness fosters unity and allows believers to live in harmony, even amidst disagreements. By prioritizing the needs of others, believers can create a supportive and nurturing environment where everyone feels valued and loved. This selflessness is exemplified in personal stories of helping friends in need and is a reflection of Christ’s love for the church. By living selflessly, believers can build strong relationships and a united community that reflects the love of Christ to the world.
 
Philippians 2:3-4 (ESV): “Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.”
 
Reflection: Think of a specific person in your community who could use your support. How can you selflessly serve them this week, putting their needs before you
