Unity

The Bible teaches the importance of unity.  Unity with others is good and pleasant (Psalm 133:1).  Because the church is the “body of Christ” (1 Corinthians 12:27), unity is essential and it is hard for a body to be in conflict with itself.  Jesus’ plan for His church is people unified in the faith.  So how do you start to be in unity?  A key verse that tells us how is Philippians 2:3: “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves.”

Yes! Amen! It's one of the keys to church growth. The Holy Spirit moves when we are in "one accord" (Acts 2:1).
