Why Unity is Imperative

On this weeks episode Somer asks Michelle to share her heart on UNITY which is imperative to us at She Works His Way. Because we live in a world full of division, Michelle felt a deep desire to look at Biblical unity more closely. She wanted to understand what it is, why it matters, and why we are so quick to divide. This conversation will give you both spiritual and practical advice to help you better pursue unity with other believers.

Some of our favorite moments from today’s episode:

“Knowing the importance of unity is different than practicing the importance of unity.”

“You cannot be unified by yourself, it requires others to be with you.”

“When you think unity is only possible with other believers who only believe exactly what you believe you create something it was never intended to be. You become unified over something that isn’t Jesus.”

“We have to protect and prioritize unity instead of our preferences and personal opinion.”

“Division is usually fueled by some kind of fear. We choose something that is more comfortable because we fear something that is uncomfortable.”

“LOVE casts out fear. If fear is what fuels division then a lack of love for one another puts fear in our hearts and causes disunity.”

“A lot of times fear looks like pride.”

“There is nothing that is more important than showing the world we love others and love Jesus.”

“This will not come if this is a half heart effort.”

“Fellowship is FUN!”

“If more churches had more people that just hung out with each other, than the intimacy of the people would be greater.”

“When believers lose their unity, something else has become more important than Jesus, 100% of the time.”
