I Will Live In Unity | Pastor Jacob Julian | Accelerate Church

Main message: True unity is a supernatural gift Jesus creates for his people, and believers are called to cultivate and demonstrate that unity through practical acts of reconciliation so the world can see the life God brings.

Key points:

• David (Psalm 133) celebrates unity as "good and pleasant," using oil and dew images to show unity spreads and brings life.
• Paul (Ephesians) identifies Jesus as the source who "made the two one" and tore down the dividing wall of hostility.
• Our role is to preserve and cultivate the unity Jesus created (Eph. 4): pursue reconciliation, forgive, assume the best, and have hard conversations.
• Unity is not mere proximity or polite coexistence but visible evidence of new life in Christ—love for brothers and sisters shows salvation (1 John).
• When a church lives in genuine unity it blesses others and witnesses to the world and points people to Jesus.
