Until Unity

Overview

New York Times-bestselling author Francis Chan calls for believers and churches everywhere to align our hearts with God and start taking seriously His commands to unify.

It’s clear from Scripture that God desires unity for His Church. If unity is so important to the heart of God, why is the Church one of the most divided groups on earth? Chan argues that the problem is the shallowness of our love for each other—rooted in a shallowness in our understanding of the gospel. Until Unity shows us:

God grieves the division in the Church, so we can’t remain indifferent

Unity demands a level of humility only possible by the Spirit

The power and witness of the Church hinges on our oneness

Unity comes at a cost, but it commands a blessing

We must come together as a Christ’s Bride. God desires His people to love one another radically and become the Church He has called us to be.
