Notes By: Sis. Makeba Shaw
Today’s lesson: Praying for Unity and Love Within the Church Family
- We need to pray for unity. It’s not something that just happens.
- Jesus prayed for unity in John
- Unity is essential for a strong witness to the world
- Unity by itself is not enough.
- We also need pray for a deepening of love because it hides a multitude of sin
- In John, Jesus prayed for the disciples and everyone who would come after the disciples that believe
- We are individuals with the ame message and goal
- There needs to be a healing of the church as a whole because there is a lot of hurt going on in the body of Christ as a result of differing opinions of how we think the body should look
- There are so many churches because everyone wants to do things the way they want
- Thee is one God, one faith, and one baptism
- Focus on relationship, reconciliation and love
