Paul Hallam – Unity – The Missing Key

John 17:6-11  ‘That they may be one – even as we are one.’ This is what is on his heart and uppermost in his mind – unity.  He has everything being put into place on the other side of his death and resurrection. And he knows that UNITY is the Key, if we are to build anything in life.  Nobody can do it alone.  So his emphasis, his prayer for us – is unity.  Even as he’s on death row effectively, he’s not praying ‘Lord be with me, in this trial, make it easier.’ He transcends his needs to pray for ours. We are here as church, because of this prayer.  You can’t just have revival because you hold a prayer meeting or an event, how do I know? We have tried it!

Why And How Church Must Change For ‘Goodness’ Sake: Part 1 of my Future Church podcast with guest Keri Ladoceur

And so we really kind of shifted the game and said, well then instead of focusing on, “Here’s our big church vision that we want you to get in line and get on board with and help us build, we really kind of turn the table and said we want to come alongside people and help them figure out what they’re kind of discipleship path our discipleship plan looks like, and that’s what we’re going to put our energies as a staff and as leaders – asking “What does discipleship look like for you?’” and we wanna walk with people and help them really establish what are the tools and resources we can provide as a church to help people on their journey so ultimately we’re putting spiritual growth back in the hands of people and saying we want to walk alongside of them and help them with that…’
