A Prayer for Unity | John 17 | Gary Hamrick

12/04/2022
When Jesus prays for us in John 17, He asks the Father to give us UNITY. But what kind of “unity” is Jesus speaking of? Does He mean that we should just all “get along,” accepting everything and anything under the “umbrella of unity?” Not at all. Unfortunately, some Christians and/or churches, in pursuit of unity, have forsaken integrity and doctrinal purity. So how do we receive and maintain the kind of unity that Jesus prays about for us? Pastor Gary shares four points about Biblical unity in today’s study from John 17.

00:00 - Introduction
14:58 - 1) UNITY is centered on Christ and His Word
21:17 - In essentials, unity; in nonessentials,liberty; and in all things, charity.
22:00 - 2) UNITY is diversity with harmony
24:42 - 3) UNITY is based on a mutual relationship with Christ
28:43 - 4) UNITY is obtained from God but maintained by us

Thank you for this wonderful message Pastor Gary Hamrick. You have hit the mark when you quote the verse "be ye not unequally yoked with unbeliever". I pray for my adult children who have a relationship with God because they have received Jesus Christ in their hearts, that Jesus will give them their lifetime partner who is a believer of Jesus. One God, one Lord Jesus Christ, one Holy Spirit. In my life I suffer because of my choice. It is only by God's grace and love for me and my family. Thank you so much and God bless.

I so enjoyed your talk on Unity. I was baptized a Catholic but have become more knowledgeable of all the teachings by attending different denominations. However, my family has not accepted any of my beliefs and thinkings, since they are Catholics. This is very hurtful to me. They believe I will not see them in Heaven since I am not practicing their religion. This teaching uplifted me in such a beautiful way and I wish they would understand this “Unity” I will keep praying for Unity between us, Thank you😊

Thank you pastor Gray this is very great sermon. Without unity nothing can complete. We must have unity with the truth in God's Word.

Respected pastor, Garry hamrick.regards to u and ur family and all church members, this Saroj, Raja gaikwad.and my family from city, jalna district place of Maharashtra state of India. Sir, lovely, and very philosophical, literally heart touching message and really we the people of jalna city, were from very backward class in early days but my grandfather got baptized long back, and now this our fourth generation.but due to your message I heard that Jesus Christ has prayed before 2000 years ago for us that is why we are Christians, and members of Christ Church of jalna. Sir, at last sorry for long comments .
