The Dynamic Effects of Spiritual Unity (3 of 4)
Pastor Frank Damazio
INTRODUCTION: This is our third and final message on the importance of unity in the house of God. United we stand; divided we fall. This is true in every level of society, ministry, government, business, management and home. It is also true in the church, the body of Christ. We have a mandate from scripture that we should be a specific kind of church. I gave seven clear goals for our church to pursue last week. When we live in unity, we reflect the perfect relationship in the Godhead: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We are one in spirit, one in purpose, one in passion for the kingdom of God. If we are focused on our own private agendas, how can the kingdom flourish?

They, too, got along fine after a few adjustments. Then he put in a Baptist, Presbyterian, and Catholic; soon there was not a living thing left.
Coming together is a beginning.
Keeping together is progress.
Working together is success.
- Henry Ford
"The anointing on any of us is not as powerful as the anointing on all of us."
Unity helps overcome the insurmountable and reach the unachievable.
Unity brings to us the power to make the impossible possible and to change dreams to reality.
