The importance of unity in the body of Christ

February 23, 2012

There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.           

Galatians 3:28

Every now and then, I’ll be asked to officiate at weddings at other churches across town. I remember one time specifically when I walked in and saw the pastor of this particular church who had been faithful in ministry for nearly fifty years. Our church had just recently taken out an ad in the paper congratulating him on his ministry, and he was so grateful for that show of appreciation from another church.

There’s a popular misconception among many today that churches are competing for members. Now, I’m not saying it never happens, but I can tell you one thing: that’s not how the Bible calls the body of Christ to act. In fact, churches should be in the business of building up one another because in Christ, we’re all one!

As the body of Christ, we need hundreds and thousands of people working together to expand the Kingdom. We need one another.

So whether you’re Jew or Greek, male or female, Baptist, Methodist, or whatever denomination… so long as Christ is at the center and you share a common faith in His death, burial, and resurrection, stay united and work together for His glory!

RATHER THAN FINDING REASONS TO ARGUE AND COMPETE, BE UNIFIED IN THE BODY OF CHRIST AND WORK WITH OTHERS FOR HIS GLORY.

Understand what’s visible by unveiling the Invisible!

Dear Friend,

While so many people today only focus on what’s visible, there’s an invisible realm that’s just as real and just as active as the physical world you see.

Yet as you go about your daily life, it can be easy to forget that truth, which puts you right in the crosshairs of the evil one.

In this eye-opening 10-message series called Invisible, you’ll come along with me as I exploresuch topics as the existence of angels, the battle for your mind, and what heaven is really like. After hearing it, you’ll be better equipped to have real victory in the spiritual realm!

I want to send youInvisible to thank you for your online donation to PowerPoint today. I know you’ll never see your physical world the same once you unveil the Invisible!

Thank you for your gift. I’m so grateful for you!

Jack Graham
