Summary
The service centers on the Lord's Supper, where the church remembers the broken body and shed blood of Jesus. The preacher reminds us that Christ stands at the center of all history - even our calendars are counted from Him - and that everything begins and continues through Him. From this he draws his theme: unity comes in two forms, unity with God and unity with one another.
Real unity with God means taking on His very nature, the way oil cannot mix with water unless it is changed. For that reason believers cannot be one with falsehood: Scripture tells us to remove the leaven of pride, to reject the false teaching that divides people, and to feed on the pure milk of God's word rather than borrowing someone else's spiritual food. We are warned that a small compromise is like a nail left in a house - one allowance for the world gives the enemy a foothold that can ruin everything.
Unity with each other flows from the love we first received from God, the same oneness Jesus prayed for in John 17. The world resists those who carry God's nature, but we are kept by His power, not by softening the gospel. As the church comes to the table, each person is called to examine his heart, make peace with God and neighbor, and receive the cup by faith, confessing that the blood of the Lamb does not merely cover sin but washes it away.
Key Points
- Christ is the central figure of all history; everything begins and continues through Him.
- There are two unities to pursue: oneness with God and oneness with fellow believers.
- To be one with God you must share His nature - holiness transforms you, like a drop becoming part of the ocean.
- The church cannot unite with pride, immorality, or false teaching; keep the pure word of God for yourself.
- A small compromise with the world is a foothold for the enemy, like a nail left in the wall.
- Love one another not on your own terms but as Christ desires for that person.
- Examine your heart and be reconciled before communion; the Lamb's blood washes sin away, not just covers it.
Devotional
Take a moment to ask whether your life truly shares the nature of the One you call Lord. Unity with God is not a feeling we drift into; it is a daily choice to be transformed, to lay down pride, and to feed on His word instead of the noise of other voices. Watch for the small nail, the quiet compromise that seems harmless yet gives the enemy a place to stay. And before you come to His table, make peace - with God and with the brother beside you - so the same love you have received can flow back through you.
Christ stands at the center of everything - even our calendars are counted from Him.
You cannot truly partake in what you are unwilling to become.
One small nail left for the world gives the enemy a place to live in your house.

[Music] [Music] foreign Lord we thank you for your love we thank you for your grace and mercy Lord and as we look at the cross in this place today we see your precious wounds the blood that is dripping down your body Lord and we receive your sacrifice we receive your suffering we receive the pain that you went through Lord Jesus and we give all the praise and glory to you because that is where it belongs on the cross of Calvary Lord in Jesus name we pray in Jesus name amen [Music] let us all say praise to our Lord the Lord has saved us and he has redeemed us and he is here again to bless us with his words and before us we have this great Wonder yeah everything began with Jesus Christ everything that began with him still happened through him and even the the story of the world how it was was before and after experience and so we even noticed that when a person opens up their passports they see that their birthday is after the death of Jesus Christ because Jesus Christ is a central figure of all things and some for some or many people it's a scary figure for some they don't really care about it but for us as a Church of God it is foreign [Music] foreign foreign [Music] against and it's a complicated unity and so we are presenting this one by becoming partakers with Jesus Christ we become one with him we become United with him this is only possible in Christ Jesus which is who is and it's very important we'll be talking about this but at the same time looking at Christ by partaking with him we are partaking in his Godly nature in other words we have to take part in his characteristics and the way he is you're not able to partake in something that you're completely different from in other words oil does not mix with water maybe with the chemical approach you you might be able to but it's still going to be messy beans gas and water for example don't mix and there are other many other things that are the same way but in order to be one you must by Nature become one to partake means you have to transform into the same nature of that which you are trying to become a part of um and so when two drops of water uh come together and they can create a whole ocean it seems like they're independent but because they're together they're not they're ones but with people it's not the same way because we still uh remain personal beings we still remain personal beings but our Nature has to be transformed into what we are becoming a part of uh Ephesians chapter 2 verse 15. foreign Australia it is foreign it says that you are made citizens holy with one with your God is and so Christ in his flesh came and he he did this the sacrifice in order to allow this transformation of a person and by this he is allowing us to partake with him and through US partaking we become holy spirit so you become citizens of the Holy ones and together you become holy with one another because you have become yourself in God and to be one with him means to be of one nature and the nature of our god it makes sense right we have to take on the nature in order to be United with his nature do we need to take on him and so let us read what exactly is the nature of our of Our Lord Hebrews chapter 6 verse 20 7 26 7 26. and so we are all carriers of this nature of God and all of these carriers of God's nature make up one organism that organism is the body of Christ it is the Church of Jesus Christ it is the the post of uh the the foundations of the truth it is this complicated type of unity and it's saved believing and holy people is the sermon that I would like to talk about is Unity is and as I've mentioned before there are two types of unity first type of unity is with the Lord taking on his nature and by taking on his nature uniting with the Holy ones of God in the beginning of that Unity is here the beginning of that Unity is the cross the beginning of that Unity is the Lord Jesus Christ in the unity of of uh was one of the most important things of the Disciples of Jesus Christ is because they realized that it was important to spread the gospel the truth of the gospel and because he is united with God he takes on the nature of God and the preaching of that word is true because he knows [Music] it unites the holy ones of God in that one nature and so it's important to understand that Unity needs the right kind of unity is you know there are many moments where you look around and people can be United there can be moments that are far from the Bible far from truth but people are united maybe the United patriotic form for the country is but Christ has created a different kind of unity separate from the unity in this world he was worried about the unity of the Holy ones of God and the ones following the holy ones of God in Jesus Christ the holy God we are united and this type of unity requires sacrifice requires efforts and um it does not just happen uh and so other than the fact that it requires hard work and effort it's under attack and we'll pause here is what type of efforts do we take from our side in order to have this universe the first thing is Unity with God and the second is Unity with one another Corinthians chapter six verse 16. we will talk about the requirements of accepting God in order to be one with him and so these are the requirements and I will received is and in doing this it is your Unity with him in no other way and so unless you do these things these putting these efforts for these requirements nothing will happen with the things that you need to do in order to be accepted by God the scriptures warns us [Music] to not be in unity with those that are not aligned with the truth of the Gospel is but their the scripture warns us and says that there are certain people that you cannot be in unity and uh this week somebody sent me a song the words say that uh for many it's allowed but for you it's not um so for many it is allowed but for you it's not yeah maybe we should put it on yes it is so for many a lot of things and therefore there are certain requirements things that you must do and if you don't do them and so there are many people that you cannot be United with no business and it says to try to maintain peace with all right but in unity with all you cannot be here First Corinthians chapter 11 verse chapter 5. [Music] is and so Apostles saying that you cannot be in unity you have to expel you won't go with characteristics and so he shares certain kind of characteristics slanderers a person that uses others for their own personal gain Nikki swindler's uh immoral and so expel this type because it seems like you cannot be in unity with these type of people is and so you can't preach to them and guide them and lead them to to the truth and when they do accept it then you can you know and same chapter uh same chapter but verses yesterday we discuss we we apprecially and so you are unleavened you are not a part of the the leaven of the truth yes and yesterday by the grace of God I was or by the mercy of God I Was preparing bread you know no little uh specs go into this and so it makes it happen that the bread becomes puffy is it's filled with a certain type of Pride and like uh you know it puffs up so you must not have this and so uh this this yeast of Pride it is not should not be among you is and so with this type you cannot serve the holy ghost videos and yes we need to preach the gospel and maybe God will give the repentance to it but these type of people are standing in the way of unity for believers and it also opens the door for false teaching and different types of deceptions Galatians chapter 1 verses 6 to 9. Apostle comes and sees that something that surprises him amongst leaders foreign and so he is not trying to please people rather he is pleasing God to not find fellowship with these type of people false teachers that teach different types of uh heresy they divide people that just like the one that seeks the truth follows Lord and not some kind of uh teachings and wisdom of man and then those that followed the lies they separate themselves from the true followers and so through false teaching comes a separation between people and it's very important and it's very important with our lives for each one of us is you know uh it's it's good not good to listen to different types of uh things on YouTube but it's good to listen to my stuff is but it's good to get the word from where the true word of God is the milk to know who is right and so brother asked me surgery can you listen to the sermon and tell me whether or not he's saying the truth is and so if you want to know whether he is right or not read the scriptures and you'll know today we have set aside the word of God in order to get spiritual food from someone else and so we cannot see the full picture of scripture and it's very important but you will enter into salvation through the clean milk and so enter into the teaching to have a vision of God's word and so and so don't worry if you don't understand because even if you don't understand if you go you will receive it is and so he says that the one that loves me uh will receive Knowledge from me uh not the one that knows certain things that's what the scripture says loving uh and so for the sake of unity to get in the way of the truth of God or maybe to set aside or to remove it it's a transgression um Peter and Apostle Paul had conflict an apostle Paul uh confronted Peter for not uh sticking to the truth of the gospels and so they lost this Unity amongst one another because a man Peter began to do something that they didn't understand and God's man Apostle Paul uh convicted him in order to help him and he didn't tell him oh look you're a hypocrite I don't want to know you ever again but he rebuked in order to help in order so that things would get back into its right place but if we would say inside this truth in order to um for the sake of unity it would be sin is second John or yeah second John chapter four or four verses 4 to 11 or second chapter of John verses four two yeah um I don't always read this place in scripture but I read it yesterday and it touched me Verses 4 to 11. second John global chapter one verse 4. good yeah [Music] so there were children and they walked in the truth is foreign bunny version is and so we are talking about unity and many false teachers and deceivers that separate people is foreign and so if a man comes teaching you false teachings in order to separate man from God don't accept him because you will receive the same punishment as that false teacher it is not possible to be in unity with false teachers God will guide unity in order to convict the person to lead them Unity with God and one another is very important is and so the the enemy stands strongly against this in order to stop this from happening and to destroy it use and so the Lord Jesus he prayed and showed a very important truth in in unity so what's this that begins here where we take part with Christ with God because we take on one nature we talked about the nature of Our Lord is and we accept Unity with those who walk in that same nature of God the first prayer of Jesus Christ John chapter 17. um and we speak about the truths of unity is [Music] United as we are Jesus Christ with God they have one nature one character one will be one uniting love with one another Slavic Mississippi to reveal the love of God a little bit of the Trinity of God uh we all know that God is love I mean amen and so love always requires your promise to love to the creation who did God love how could he be loved Solutions yes and so we see that if it's possible for God being a Triune God supporting each other each separate part with one another seeing that you truly can tell that God truly is love because of that United love um and he says for them to be United as we are united in love to encourage one another and lift one another because his nature with the fathers is like this is and so our nature should be the same in encouraging lifting one another up in love foreign verse 14. at so if you take on the nature of God this world hates God the principles of God are uh estranged today and so those that hate God they also hate the things that are of God the world resists Christ is a person will reject the one that is a follower of Jesus Christ is and so Jesus sees that there will be a serious pressure a pressure from all sides of this of this evil world and so it seems as if I'm bringing this good news to the world but the world uh hates me emotions and so maybe just accept a little bit of this world in order so that I would be accepted and so what does it say to be protected from the evil one uh to be protected from Evil it's not uh um and so oftentimes we can see how people allow uh you know the the evil into their lives we heard a sermon about Pastor Paul shared to give room for the devils and so a person gives room to the devil because they're not able to withstand the power of the world over them you know that somewhere being circumcised in order to not be persecuted for the Cross of Christ to do something so you would have less pressure and so Christ says protect them from this so that they would uh not they were nothing nothing would stop them from being able to take on my nature and Christ being on this Earth there was no point that he allowed things in his life he said here's the prince of this world and he has nothing he has nothing of me this world was putting him down but by the power of God he resurrected and the same way for us and uh that's how the world is now if you have the power of God in you you will be put down don't don't be discouraged you can give room to the devil in order to not have this pressure you know brother Paul shared this uh sermon he said to give room to the devil is like this nail in the home he [Music] there's one thing that I want to keep in the contract is that the nail that is at the front door to not be removed and whatever I want to put on the nail um and so you know people live there and they just kind of painted over the nail no one really saw it and the man comes back and says can I buy my the home goodness but I gave it to you for this cheap price and so he brought a dead cat and by law he had a and so the people gave this home away for free because it was not possible to live there that's what the Little Nail is this is what it means that's what it means uh you just to allow this uh impurity in your life and so here comes the prince of the world and he has nothing of me this Prince of the world tries to do everything to break Unity of men because of the unity with man and God is broken then man to man will have no Universe therefore the right Unity Godly Unity won't be there and therefore we have to um be on guards that we do not fall into Temptations double once at least a little bit of the world a sinful world so that small nail would be there but remember for the rest of your life foreign foreign it's very important images to have this Unity with God immediately somebody asked the question how can you love your neighbor as yourself because when you have the love of God in you you understand God filled you with his love then you're able to love another example the new commandment is different from the old in one way and so it's not about what I love and what I want but what does Christ wants this is maybe Christ wants you to be on a diet so you get to know what this person needs and help them just as Christ loves people and for some it might not they might not like it because Christ has a specific plan uh for each one of us is you'll be praying before us we have this partaking to partake in the nature of God is still missing that to do it by the word of God and so we are taking part in nature of God we become one with him we become one with one another in the right Unity we I hope we understand what it means to be United um to want to take part in the right Unity without doing it the right way would be not the right unity and therefore today we are taking apart we will think we will think deeply first I have the right relationship with our God is for us by having right relationships before our Lord and pray thank you Hallelujah foreign I mean images foreign foreign [Music] and how it's written in second Corinthians chapter 11 verse 28 and how it was already said in the first sermon that we would examine ourselves our relationship with our God examine our relationships with one another um what we do here at can and it is a big blessing to every
