This week on Beyond the Pulpit we explore how the early church's unity became a powerful witness to the reality of Christ. When believers devoted themselves to fellowship, outsiders saw something compelling that drew them to faith.
• Acts 2:42-47 shows how the early Christians' devotion to life together attracted others to Christ
• Jesus prayed for Christian unity "so that the world may believe" (John 17:21)
• Our unity reflects the Trinity and serves as evidence that Christianity is real
• The church represents a new "generation" defined by the life, death and resurrection of Jesus
• Christians across all times and places are united by sharing in the life of Christ
• Powerful examples like public forgiveness demonstrate the gospel's transforming power
• Our relationships with fellow believers serve as a witness to the reality of salvation
Join us in displaying the glory of God through our unity as believers. When we truly love one another, the world sees Christ.
