      • The Strength of Unity

        Sermon Notes:

        • Acts 2:44
        • Acts 3:1

          • An old Arab proverb teaching the importance of unity says, “One hand alone does not clap.” No one is a whole chain. Each one is a link on the chain. No one is a whole team, but each one is a player. We need each other. It has been rightfully said, “No man is an island unto himself.” We must have each other to survive. Another proverb says, “It is the right arm that scratches the left arm.” Both proverbs expose our need of one another.


          Unity has great impact on any organization. Where would the military be without unity? Would the football team win without unity and teamwork? Can a business progress when there is no unity among the partners? Can a marriage be happy if the husband and wife refuse to work together? Unity gets the job done! The Early Church was together and in one accord; their motives were correct. God brings unity. The devil wants to bring disunity and strife. God brings love. Satan brings jealousy. God brings faith. Satan brings doubt. God adds and multiplies. Satan subtracts and divides.


          Unity is the mark of a true Christian. This type of unity existed in the Early Church. In fact, the Church came into existence when the people had one mind.

          • Acts 2:1

            • The Bible says in Acts 2:42, 44-47 that they broke bread together, with the spirit of love being strong. They sold all they had to meet the needs of each person. This true unity prevailed. The world took note, and the Christians had favor with all the people. Jesus proclaimed the world would know we are His disciples when we have love one for another (John 13:35).

            • 1 Corinthians 1:13

              • The Scriptures abound with admonitions concerning unity:

              • Ephesians 2:20-22
              • Ephesians 4:3
              • Philippians 1:27
              • 1 Peter 3:8
              • Judges 20:11
              • Psalm 133:1
              • Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
              • Mark 3:25

                • One strand of string can be easily broken by a child. But when many strings are tied together to make a rope, together they can withstand much pressure.


                Unity prevails in the church when we focus on Jesus Christ. We must be one. (One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism, One God, One Salvation Plan, One Gospel, One Spirit, and One Bible.)


                The church is like that. Romans 12:3-6 tells us we have, “gifts differing according to the measure of grace.” Our brother adds what he has. Our sister adds the ability she has. Then God brings it all together into something that can be shared with a hungry world.


                What Kills Unity?

                • Gossip: casual or unconstrained conversation or reports about other people, typically involving details that are not confirmed as being true.
                • Sinful Nature: Matthew 15:19-20
                • Offense
                • Idle Time: 1 Timothy 5:13

                  • The results?

                  • It destroys love.
                  • It destroys unity.
                  • It harms relationships, sometimes beyond repair.
                  • It creates barriers to reaching others.
                  • It dishonors God.
                  • It poisons work environments.
                  • It undermines trust.
                  • It is condemned in Scripture.
                  • It pollutes our spirit.
                  • And most of us tolerate it in our lives every day.

                    • Proverbs 6:16-19

                    Leviticus 19:16

                          • Obedience Is Better Than Sacrifice

                            Evangelist Elias Perez emphasizes the importance of obedience over sacrifice. Drawing from the biblical example in 1 Samuel 15:22, Elias explains that while God honors our sacrifices, He is more concerned with our obedience to His voice and commands. Sharing personal experiences, Elias illustrates how his choice to obey God's word, even when it meant refusing temptations, has opened doors for ministry and spiritual growth. He passionately encourages listeners to prioritize obedience over mere outward displays of religiosity, as true fruitfulness comes through walking in submission to God. Elias' impactful message underscores the transformative power of an obedient life dedicated to following God's will.

                            • Free will gives us the liberty to choose our path, but God’s grace shapes our destiny.

                              • II. Testimony: Personal Struggles and God's Mercy

                                • Ephesians 2:1-3: The state of sin and disobedience before encountering Christ.
                                • The dangers of following the desires of the flesh and mind, leading to spiritual corruption.

                                  • IV. The Call to Use Free Will for God's Purpose

                                  • Romans 12:1-2: Offering ourselves as living sacrifices and renewing our minds.
                                  • The goal is to align our free will with God’s will, using it for good works and spiritual growth.

                                    • V. Understanding the Transformative Power of God

                                    • God changes us physically, spiritually, and mentally when we submit our free will to Him.
                                    • Testimony: Detoxing from sin and drugs and being restored physically and spiritually.
                                    • The importance of pursuing the Seven Spirits of God: Wisdom, understanding, counsel, might, knowledge, fear of the Lord, and the Holy Spirit.

                                      • VI. Free Will and Spiritual Warfare

                                      • Ephesians 6:12: The spiritual battle we face in using our free will.
                                      • The more we surrender our free will to God, the stronger we become in spiritual warfare.
                                      • The transformation that happens when we live by the Spirit rather than the flesh.

                                        • VII. The Parable of the Talents: Responsibility with Free Will

                                        • Matthew 25:14-30: The parable that highlights the responsibility of using our gifts and free will for God’s kingdom.
                                        • What we do with our free will matters—God will hold us accountable for how we use it.

                                          • VIII. Loving God with All Our Being

                                          • Matthew 22:37-40: The greatest commandment—loving God with all your heart, soul, and mind.
                                          • Breaking down the heart, soul, and mind: how these connect to our free will and how we should offer them fully to God.
                                          • The importance of aligning our entire being—body, soul, and spirit—with God’s will.

                                            • IX. The Eternal Consequences of Our Choices

                                            • Revelations 22:10-14: God’s final judgment and the importance of living righteously.
                                            • Free will has eternal consequences. We choose either to remain in sin or to pursue righteousness.
                                            • God's reward is with Him, and we must be prepared for His return.

                                              • X. Conclusion: Using Free Will for God's Glory

                                              • Free will is a gift, but it comes with responsibility.
                                              • We are called to choose a life of holiness, obedience, and love for God.
                                              • Encourage the congregation to reflect on how they are using their free will and to strive to align it with God’s will for their lives.
