Community does not exist where there is no unity! At least, not to the potential that it should. Our churches should be a place that grasps true community; and makes unity its prime focus.
Unfortunately, this is not the case. Many churches fight with other churches. Within churches, we find small quarrels and disagreements. Christians have disagreements and never resolve them.

We as Christian's tend to fight over preferences; preferences that ultimately distract us from our purpose of sharing Jesus. We want our tradition and the way we have always had it; more than we want to see people coming to faith in Jesus. We get caught in a trap of what can the church do for us; instead of how we can be part of the church. One of my favorite observations of lately has been conflicts among classes; the same classes that are going through a series called "When Relationships Collide" a series about conflict. Funny how many times in the midst of our conflicts; that God is relevant and trying to speak out and we miss it.

What would happen if our churches; would start rebuilding its unity? Then we might just see more churches building strong Christ-focused and Christ-led communities; that focused on bringing people to Jesus. Now that is why the church exists, why the church is supposed to be a community, and why we are to be unified!
