Devotional Day 1 - Unity Through Christ

Jul 7, 2026    Pastor Larry Skero Jr

𝐃𝐞𝐯𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥: The apostle Paul addressed two faithful women, Euodia and Syntyche, who were struggling to get along despite their significant contributions to the church. Their conflict reminds us that even mature believers can experience relational friction. Yet Paul's approach is instructive—he doesn't dismiss them but calls them "beloved" and affirms their names are written in the book of life. When conflict arises in our relationships, we must remember that the gospel is what binds us together, not our perfect agreement on every matter. Christ is our common ground. Today, ask yourself: Is there someone with whom I need to reconcile? Pride may be keeping you from the peace God desires for you. Take the first step toward harmony, remembering that unity glorifies God and strengthens His church.
