United in Christ: The Power of the Church

"That they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me." - ‭‭John‬ ‭17‬:‭21‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

The church is essential to our life in Christ. He hasn’t created the church to interrupt our Sunday plans but to give us united fellowship—the greatest family and team on earth. We experience the deepest relationships with one another, sharing joys and sorrows, needs and resources, prayer requests and answered prayers. While not every church fully embodies this, it is the biblical model for what every local church should be.

To get the most out of church, it’s not just about sitting, listening, and leaving. It’s about reaching out, building relationships, and walking together on this shared journey of faith in Jesus.

So, consider this Sunday—and every day in between—your opportunity to practice giving and receiving. Come and experience the body of Christ at work.
