One


"Speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into Him who is the Head, that is, Christ.  From Him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work." Ephesians 4:15-16

In John, Jesus prayed for all believers to be one: "May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that You sent Me and have loved them even as You have loved Me." (John 17:23)
All Christians are one body of Christ.  The world is watching us.  What message are we sending out to the world?  Jesus wants us to be unified, not divided into different denominations (which are man-made).

"May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you a spirit of unity among yourselves as you follow Christ Jesus, so that with one heart and mouth you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ." (Romans 15:5-6)
