DENNIS

Good Morning. This is Dennis Gossett, Associate Pastor at Central United Methodist Church. Recently, our church retired a beloved staff member, who was over our senior adult programs. Since then, the entire church has gone through a period of transition together by having to replace Brother Jim. We went through this together, as a community of faith.

God has designed His people to be in fellowship. It has a divine purpose and power that cannot be duplicated by any other force on the face of the earth. The people called Christians cannot run from it, because we are supposed to be in communion with one another. See, there is a Divine Unity in the Community of faith.

In Acts 2 of the Bible, we find there to be a special quality about this community, who was empowered by the Spirit of God. They were being held together by divine Unity because they shared in the Apostles teachings, shared in fellowship, shared in the breaking of bread, and shared in prayer. Imagine what your life would be like if you imitated this Unity with other people in homes, on the job, or at the park. Now, imagine what a difference Christians would make if we all bond ourselves together. Friends, there is Divine Unity in the Community of faith.
