Sermons About Unity
United for a Purpose (1 Corinthians 1:10-17)
Paul appeals to the Corinthians to walk in unity. Pride was creating factionalism in the Corinthian church. Humility was the answer; a humility that embraces the ugliness and offense of the cross. In the face of the cross and the gospel there is no room for our pride, because they highlight that we have nothing good in ourselves.

The Spirit Makes Us One
In John 17 Jesus tells us how it is that unbelieving people come to faith -- by observing the unity between believers. In this teaching we dig into what kind of unity Jesus has in mind, and how that kind of unity can be attained -- so that lost people will come to trust Jesus.

Our Partnership in the Gospel (Philippians 4:10-20)
The Philippians serve as a model for us of a joyful partnership in the gospel. A significant aspect of this partnership was their giving to support Paul's ministry and to provide for the needs of the church in Jerusalem. This partnership met practical needs, helped to cultivate a unity in the gospel, and required sacrifice on their part.

Intent on One Purpose
Philippians 2:1-8 The greatest danger to any group is disunity. Whether it's a family, an athletic team, a workplace or a church, selfishness is that destructive part of human nature that separates and divides a group. Although Paul was writing to a healthy church in Philippi, he warned them of this danger and encouraged them to be united - of one heart and mind - in their fellowship together.

Real World: Fragmentation
Our world exists in a perpetual state of division - divisions along cultural, racial, class, religious and political lines. Christ came that the whole of creation might come into unity with Christ and with each other.
