What if the world&rsquo;s belief in Jesus depended on how well His followers loved each other?
In this week&rsquo;s message, &ldquo;For Our Unity,&rdquo; Pastor Ron Merrell closes our Final Words series with a look at Jesus&rsquo; final prayer in John 17 &mdash; a powerful call for believers to be one, just as the Father and Son are one.
When followers of Jesus live with humility, gentleness, and sacrificial love, the world sees something real &mdash; the heart of God.
Let&rsquo;s stop making secondary issues feel primary. Let&rsquo;s start living with the mindset of Christ &mdash; loving one another deeply, valuing others above ourselves, and maintaining the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.
&ldquo;May they be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me.&rdquo; &mdash; John 17:23

This is for Your Joy | Regis Johnson

In the final week of our series Christ, Culture, &amp; Politics, Pastor John S. Dickerson delivers a powerful and emotional message calling believers to see our nation and world through the lens of Scripture&mdash;not the culture.
When Jesus wept over Jerusalem, He saw people rejecting truth and walking toward destruction. Today, we face similar spiritual battles of deception, division, and darkness. Yet there is still hope&mdash;for individuals, for nations, and for the Church&mdash;through Christ alone.
In this message, Pastor John shares:&nbsp;&nbsp; - Why revival begins with transformed thinking (Romans 12:2)&nbsp;&nbsp; - How Christians can engage culture without losing focus on Christ&rsquo;s Kingdom&nbsp;&nbsp; - Why Jesus still weeps for nations that turn from Him&nbsp;&nbsp; - The only true hope for freedom, equality, and peace in any society
&ldquo;If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face&hellip; then I will hear from heaven and heal their land.&rdquo; &mdash; 2 Chronicles 7:14
This is not a call to fear, but a call to faith&mdash;a call to be courageous, discerning, and devoted to Christ above all else.
