So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.
Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming.
EPHESIANS 4:11–14 (NIV)

UNITE IN HOPE
Be united with other Christians. A wall with loose bricks is not good. The bricks must be cemented together. -Corrie Ten Boom
Our world is chaotic. When we turn on the news or scroll through social media, it’s all full of images and stories of division, disunity, injustice and conflict. If ever there was a time where the church needed to unite together, this is it!
However, to achieve unity we must reconcile our differences and hold to the truth we all know and carry – Jesus Christ – the only hope of the world.
Through this week’s readings we pray that not only will you be encouraged but that the words will inspire you to look for ways to unite in hope with your fellow brothers and sisters in Christ, to continue to build God’s Church, and to shine His light in a world of darkness.
