Dear friends,

In the book of Acts, amid the diversity of Pentecost, the early church demonstrated a profound unity: “All the believers were together and had everything in common” (Acts 2:44). Jews from distant nations, once divided by language and custom, gathered as one body–sharing meals, possessions, and prayers–transforming fear into fearless witness, as thousands joined their fellowship in awe-inspired harmony.

While differences abound, the church’s true unity is rooted in worshiping Jesus Christ. As Paul notes in Ephesians 4:4-6, there is one body, Spirit, Lord, faith, baptism, and God.

When we gather as a church, our different voices unite to honor the Lamb who was slain. True worship means surrendering divisions and preferences before the King. As Revelation 7 declares, “A great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, [stands] before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes… and [cries] out with a loud voice, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!” By focusing on Christ, the Spirit unites us and transforms strangers into family.

This unity isn’t passive. It propels us outward, compelling us to love as Christ loved, bridging divides with grace. So, church, let us worship zealously–singing, praying, breaking bread–with our eyes fixed on Jesus. In Him, we are one.

In Christ’s love,

Pastor Randy

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

“There is a strange melancholy that haunts the inhabitants of America in the midst of abundance. They clutch everything and hold nothing fast. Amidst abundance, the incomplete joys of this world will never satisfy the human heart.” –Alexis de Tocqueville
