Let’s Connect Pt 2 – Being United (07/14/2019)

July 22, 2019

We do LIFE in COMMUNITY and not in SOLITUDE. WE GROW IN CIRCLES NOT IN ROWS. WE CANNOT GROW UNLESS WE ARE PLANTED!

Today we will add another layer: WE CANNOT STAND UNLESS WE ARE UNITED!

Those who are PLANTED in the house of the Lord shall FLOURISH in the courts of our God. 14 They shall still bear fruit in old age; They shall be FRESH and  FLOURISHING (Psalm 92:13-14)

We are “CONNECTED (UNITED) to Christ, the head of the body. For He holds the whole body together with its joints and ligaments, and it GROWS as God NOURISHES it.” (Colossians 2:19)

  • When you are planted in the soil (the church) you are connected to Head (Christ)
  • When you are connected to the Head you are kept together- joints ligaments
  • Your dreams, visions are connected to the Head, they GROW and FLOURISH
  1. UNITY BRINGS THE HOLY SPIRIT

When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with ONE ACCORD in ONE PLACE. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. (Acts 2:1-2)

  • Unity is an instant invitation for the Holy Spirit to show up. Unity cannot happen without The Holy Spirit
  • When He shows us dreams are ignited visions are stirred up
  1. UNITY BRINGS HEALTH

He makes the whole body FIT TOGETHER PERFECTLY. As each part does its OWN SPECIAL WORK, it helps the OTHER PARTS GROW, so that the whole body is HEALTHY and GROWING and FULL OF LOVE. (Ephesians 4:16)

  • UNITY IS NEVER MEASURED BY SIZE but by HOW WELL every piece fits together
  • Unity is MAKING ROOM for each part to do its own SPECIAL WORK

CONCLUSION

  • UNITY KEEPS US GROUNDED AND CONNECTED TO THE SOURCE
