Make Every Effort: Paul Urges Unity in the Church

Unity is a mountain to be climbed and an instrument to be learned. It doesn’t happen quickly or on its own but is always the result of hard work, practice, and cost. Paul urged the early church to “maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace” (Eph 4:3). This exhortation requires every Christian to cultivate relationships and corporate virtues that foster unity. This session will examine Paul’s labor to cultivate unity in the church.
