Scripture: Ephesians 4:3 “Endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.”
Unity must be protected intentionally.
Division often enters through:
· Gossip
· Offense
· Competition
· Assumptions
· Unresolved conflict
· Miscommunication
The enemy understands the power of unity, which is why he works aggressively to fracture relationships.
Peace requires effort. Healing requires maturity. Unity requires intentionality.
