There are six necessary Christian graces to experience unity. 

The first is lowliness and the second is meekness. 

Ephesians 4:2 - "With all lowliness and meekness..."

Meekness is not weakness! Meekness is power under control. 

From Genesis to Malachi, Jesus Christ is either patterned, promised, or pictured is every page of the Hebrew Scriptures.

Everything that happened in the Old Testament in some way points forward to Christ and the Cross. Everything that happens in the New Testament after the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ points us back to Christ and the Cross.

That’s what this series is all about.

Every week we will take two portions of Scripture – One in the Old Testament and one in the New Testament and connect them to Jesus Christ and the cross.

There are six necessary Christian graces to experience unity. 

The first is in Ephesians 4:2 - "With all lowliness"  Lowliness means - putting Christ first, others second, and yourself last.

Unity is the byproduct of being in step with the Holy Spirit. May God help us humbly submit to the Spirit so we may enjoy unity in the bond of peace.

Ephesians 4:3 - "Endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace."

 Ephesians 4:1-3– “I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.”

Ephesians 4:1 - "I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,"

Understanding how the gospel changes things

Christ is the central person in the Bible, and Calvary is the central place in the Bible.

Everything that happened in the Old Testament in some way points forward to Christ and the Cross. Everything that happens in the New Testament after the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ points us back to Christ and the Cross.
