Jesus prayed that the church would become perfectly united just as the Father and Son are perfectly one. Yet we are more divided than ever.  Francis Chan shares how becoming one seems impossible. It would take a miracle...

The Bible says that we were created in such a way that we are capable of attaining oneness with God and each other.  What would it look like if the church really believed this and started pursuing it seriously?

Let’s encourage and document movements of prayer for unity.  As an individual or as a group, share your story and record and upload your prayers for unity in the church to Facebook or Instagram with the hashtag #PrayUntilUnity. Tag others to pray with you and join the prayer movement.  How powerful would it be to see thousands of believers coming together with this heart and praying for the thing that Jesus commanded and died for?

“I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me."
—John 17: 20-21 ESV

The song "Beautiful Insanity" was written and performed by worship leader and songwriter Mercy Gordon.

Impossible Unity

Whenever we use cleverness to reach this generation aside from prayer, fasting, the Word of God, and the Spirit-filled person, we can actually diminish the cross of its power.

THE SEND 2022 - Lineup

When we read scripture, there is a clear difference between when man is speaking and when God is speaking. Hebrews 4:12 describes the Word of God as living and active. While good sermon messages from powerful preachers can be helpful and encouraging, it is only God’s words that have the ability to change us in a way that far surpasses the thoughts of man. In this week’s episode Paster Francis Chan shows us how abiding in His Word has the power to change how we see the world and our role within it.

The Power of the Word of God

Crazy Love was honored to welcome Andy Byrd of YWAM Kona to discuss the current state of evangelism in the 21st century along with the challenges and opportunities facing today's church. Andy has been with YWAM for over 15 years, traveling to numerous countries with a heart to ignite this generation to fulfill the Great Commission.

Andy Byrd: Great Commission & The Next Generation

What do you believe about “church?” Have you ever thought about how you’ve reached those conclusions? Is it based on what someone else taught you? Your prior experiences? Or is it founded on what we see in the Word of God? Pastor Francis Chan challenges the Church to not settle for an unsatisfying imitation of the real thing, but rather to pursue unity and Christ's vision for his bride.

The Unity of Communion | Francis Chan

There is a deep intimacy that takes place when we come together, in unity, at the Lord's table. God's desire is to commune with His Body, not just a collection of individuals. When we put aside our differences and join together to receive the Body and the Blood, something very special occurs.

The Intimacy of Communion | Francis Chan

Many Christians might have an assumption that the sacredness, holiness, and access to God was more intense in the Old Testament, while the New Testament is more relaxed on such topics. Francis confronts this misconception through this teaching on communion, explaining that we have even greater access to God's presence now through the participation of the Lord's supper. Communion isn't something we can do alone. We desperately need the Church body to come together for this sacred act.

The Sacredness of Communion | Francis Chan

For the early church, communion was the main reason to gather. Pastor Francis Chan speaks on the importance and the power that takes place when we partake in the Lord’s supper. Our hope and prayer is that communion would no longer be an afterthought in the church, but the presence of Christ and the breaking of bread would be central.

Lyrics
Oh Lord, reigning on high
Dwelling in unapproachable light
Who can stand before your glory and your might 
Oh Lord, you reign on high

And every time I think of who you are and all you've done
I'm captivated by the thought that you desire us 
How can my heart keep from bursting at the truth of this 
Emmanuel, our God wants to be with us

Jesus, incarnate deity
The spotless lamb robed in humility
He chose to die and with his blood to buy us peace
Jesus, it's my joy to call you King
(Repeat Chorus)

This mystery never stops confounding me
My God wants perfect unity
I'm undone - what beautiful insanity
That my God is so in love with me
My God abounds in love for me
What beautiful insanity

And every time I think of who you are and all you've done
I'm captivated by the thought that you desire us
How can my heart keep from bursting at the truth of this 
Emmanuel, our God wants to be with us
I stand in awe, that God you want to be with us

Beautiful Insanity (Official Lyric Video) - Mercy Gordon

Despite their denominational differences, Francis’s and Andy’s (YWAM Kona) friendship speaks to something much greater: unity in the body of Christ. They sit down to talk about their friendship over the years and what God has been speaking to them regarding church unity. Their friendship shows the world that two very different people can actually be family through their love and devotion to Jesus Christ and His call to unify as one body.

An Unlikely Friendship: Francis Chan & Andy Byrd

It’s clear from Scripture that God desires unity for His Church. Unity is what Jesus prays for, what He commands, and what He says will be the chief argument for unbelieving people coming to know God. But if unity is that important to the heart of God, and that critical to the mission of the church, then why isn’t it something the Church fiercely fights for and passionately pursues?

In his newest book Until Unity, Francis Chan calls for believers everywhere to align our hearts with God in His desire to see the church as unified as He is unified in the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We have done a poor job at this, but it can change. Those who are believers will hear the call and be eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit. This will be messy and painful, but we cannot allow this to discourage us from giving everything we have to the pursuit of a unified, restored Bride.

Do you want to experience freedom from addiction, homelessness, or some other life controlling struggle? Reach out to learn more about what it would look like for you to join our family here at The Way.

At The Way, we think about success differently. When a person comes to us looking for help and moves into one of our homes, we want to see them fall passionately in love with Jesus. For us, that’s the whole point. It’s not about “how many”,  it’s about “how well”.  Every person in our home should be learning to walk with Jesus, experiencing freedom, and engaging with Christian community. That’s what’s most important. Rather than focus on the external things, we look to the character of the individual, hoping to see hearts change from stone to flesh.

Matthew 13 compares the kingdom of God to a treasure buried in a field. A treasure so valuable that, when found, one would gladly sell all they have to possess it. That is our hope for the men and women in our homes. That they might realize the surpassing value of knowing Jesus and joyfully surrender all they have to know Him.
