In a world fractured by division, where even churches make headlines for conflict rather than compassion, there's an obvious question.

Can believers truly demonstrate unity that draws others to Christ?

Today, on Insight for Living, Chuck's Wendall will answer this question with a resounding yes.

His conviction comes from Romans chapter 15.

In this passage, Paul explains that Christian unity isn't about everybody agreeing on everything.

It's about demonstrating humility and love.

More specifically, it's demonstrating that the church isn't the problem. It's the answer. Chuck titled today's message, We Are One, or are we? The 50th chapter of the letter to the Romans holds the text for this morning's message.

Let me read for you the first seven verses and then end with verse 13 Romans 15 beginning at verse one down

through verse seven and then verse 13 now we who are strong ought to bear the weaknesses of those

without strength and not just please ourselves.

Each of us is to please his neighbor for his good to his edification,

for even Christ did not please himself, but as it is written,

the reproaches of those who reproached you fell on me.

For whatever was written in earlier times was written for our instruction

so that through perseverance and the encouragement of the scriptures we might have hope.

Now, may the God who gives perseverance and encouragement

grant you to be of the same mind with one another

according to Christ Jesus,

so that with one accord, you may, with one voice, glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Therefore, accept one another, just as Christ also accepted us to the glory of God.

Verse 13, now may the God of God. Verse 13,

Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace
