Together We

Are United

Unity- the state of being united or joined as a whole.

“meaning we come together”

What unites us?

We can all list things that divide us, but what are somethings that bring us together?

That’s what we are going to be diving into these next few weeks, and discussing this idea of “together we”

Because “together we can accomplish so much more.”

We were not created to be alone, but we were created to be apart of something bigger than ourselves.

We are united

Mark 2:1–5 NIV

A few days later, when Jesus again entered Capernaum, the people heard that he had come home. They gathered in such large numbers that there was no room left, not even outside the door, and he preached the word to them. Some men came, bringing to him a paralyzed man, carried by four of them. Since they could not get him to Jesus because of the crowd, they made an opening in the roof above Jesus by digging through it and then lowered the mat the man was lying on. When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralyzed man, “Son, your sins are forgiven.”

1. By a longing for community.

Mark 2:2 NIV
