A Prayer for Unity | John 17 | Gary Hamrick

When Jesus prays for us in John 17, He asks the Father to give us UNITY. But what kind of “unity” is Jesus speaking of? Does He mean that we should just all “get along,” accepting everything and anything under the “umbrella of unity?” Not at all. Unfortunately, some Christians and/or churches, in pursuit of unity, have forsaken integrity and doctrinal purity. So how do we receive and maintain the kind of unity that Jesus prays about for us? Pastor Gary shares four points about Biblical unity in today’s study from John 17.

00:00 - Introduction
14:58 - 1) UNITY is centered on Christ and His Word
21:17 - In essentials, unity; in nonessentials,liberty; and in all things, charity.
22:00 - 2) UNITY is diversity with harmony
24:42 - 3) UNITY is based on a mutual relationship with Christ
28:43 - 4) UNITY is obtained from God but maintained by us

    How does pastor G knock it out of the park every single message? We are blessed to have him shepherd a flock❣️
  • I so enjoyed your talk on Unity. I was baptized a Catholic but have become more knowledgeable of all the teachings by attending different denominations. However, my family has not accepted any of my beliefs and thinkings, since they are Catholics. This is very hurtful to me. They believe I will not see them in Heaven since I am not practicing their religion. This teaching uplifted me in such a beautiful way and I wish they would understand this “Unity” I will keep praying for Unity between us, Thank you😊
  • Thank you for this wonderful message Pastor Gary Hamrick. You have hit the mark when you quote the verse "be ye not unequally yoked with unbeliever". I pray for my adult children who have a relationship with God because they have received Jesus Christ in their hearts, that Jesus will give them their lifetime partner who is a believer of Jesus. One God, one Lord Jesus Christ, one Holy Spirit. In my life I suffer because of my choice. It is only by God's grace and love for me and my family. Thank you so much and God bless.

    Just to know how Jesus cares for us is a statement in itself. It is only in Unity that we can strive for the same goal. Working in Unity with the Father and Son gives us victory over our flesh. And if we all work in Unity there will not be so much dissention in the world. At the moment the world is torn apart, at war with itself. It needs Unity with the Father and Son as They are One working as a Unit. Blessings
