According to the Word, our being followers of Jesus and our message to the world as His followers is confirmed by our love for and unity with one another. Christian love is not of the warm, fuzzy feeling type, but of the selfless, sacrificial type we have experienced from Christ.  Such love will enable us to maintain the unity so vital to our faithful proclamation of the gospel of Jesus Christ to our community.
Let’s be intentional about developing and maintaining such a community of love and unity every time we’re together, whether in worship, small groups, Bible studies, service projects, or fellowship meals (such as that which we'll enjoy this coming Sunday).

Pray this week for our church according to the following Scriptures:
"A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another."   -- John 13:34-35  (NIV)
 
“Now may the God who gives endurance and encouragement grant you to live in harmony with one another, according to Christ Jesus, so that you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ with one mind and one voice.”  -- Romans 15:5-6  (CSB)
 
“Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.”   -- Philippians 2:1-4  (NIV)
 
"Love must be sincere.... Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves....Share with the Lord’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality."   -- Romans 12:9-10, 13  (NIV)
