why does God want the church to be one?

In this sermon we explore the biblical concept of oneness, which challenges us to move past hostility and embrace the peace that Jesus offers, uniting us as one new humanity. We reflect on how this oneness is not just about uniformity, but about coming together in diversity to worship and serve God as one body. As we pursue unity in the church, we remember that oneness comes with a cost and requires a commitment to pursue peace, even in the face of social discomfort.
