Jesus prayed; “My prayer is not for them (the disciples) alone.  I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you.  May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me.  I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one – I in them and you in me – so that they may be brought to complete unity.  Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.”​​         (John 17:20-23)  

Steps to Unity in the Church:

1. ____________________________________________ one another and Our    

   Differences Related to “Disputable Matters                      (Romans 14:1-2)

2. _________________________________________  Judging and Condemning Other Brothers and Sisters in Christ                                           (Romans 14:3-4)
3. _______________________________ Jesus is Lord and Giving Thanks to God

(Romans 14:5-12)

4. _______________________________ Love and Grace in Order to Not Be a Stumbling Block to Others.                (Romans 14:13-15/ Colossians  3:12-14)
5. _________________________________________ the Kingdom of God and

the Mission of the Church Ahead of Your Individual Rights and Preferences.
