A Call for Unity

2 Corinthians 13:11

\\xa0No church is perfect. In fact, the moment you walk into a church it becomes an imperfect church. Why? Because, though we\\u2019ve been declared righteous by the work of Christ, we are still sinners. And because we are sinners, unity takes work. In John 17, Jesus repeatedly asks the Father that Christians be united for the sake of our testimony. In a world so divided, what a bright light Christian unity shines to those around us!\\xa0

\\xa0Take Home Message: When we lose our unity, we lose our testimony.

\\xa02 Corinthians 13:11\\u2013 Finally, brothers, rejoice. Aim for restoration, comfort one another, agree with one another, live in peace; and the God of love and peace will be with you.
