"The Church United": Weekly Leader Training—Unit 33, Session 4: The Church Is United in Hope
Christ, our infinite God, is the only One who can quench that infinite longing in us to be known completely, be safe, and be made whole. His promise that He will come back for His people and we will be with Him always is not meant to function as a bandage but as a balm to provide deep healing....

"The Church United": Weekly Leader Training—Unit 33, Session 3: The Church Is United in Faith
In Galatians 3:1-9, we see Christ crucified (v. 1), the Spirit received by faith (v. 2) and working miracles among the Galatians (v. 5), God the Father supplying the Spirit (v. 5), and Scripture foretelling God’s justification of Gentiles by faith as He did Abraham (vv. 8-9). While it’s clear that God the Father has been a main character...

When they heard that Gentiles were also experiencing this salvation, some...

"The Church United": Weekly Leader Training—Unit 32, Session 4: The Church Is United Under Godly Leaders
Paul and Timothy had a special relationship. Throughout his letters, Paul referred to Timothy with much affection. In 1 Timothy 1:2, he used the phrase “my dearly loved son.” In 1 Corinthians 4:17, Paul said to the church at Corinth that Timothy was his “dearly loved and faithful child in the Lord.” A sign of a healthy leader is...

"The Church United": Weekly Leader Training—Unit 32, Session 3: The Church Is United in the Gospel
It seems strange that Paul would thank God that he had not baptized people (vv. 14-15). Paul’s point in making this statement was not to suggest that baptism is unimportant; rather, it was that people should not seek to identify with the person who baptized them because their only saving union is with Christ. Paul wanted the focus of...
