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

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.

Be Still And Know that I Am God

What is the focus of your life?  The "American Dream?" Your smartphone? When the Holy Spirit touches your life, you realize that His plans are so much bigger (and better) than you could have ever imagined. Preached at Life Mission Church in Kansas City.

A Life Surrendered to God | Francis Chan at Life Mission Church

In this session from the Antioch Waco Marriage Conference 2023, Francis and Lisa Chan discuss the importance of focusing on the grace of God, relying on Him for peace, and thinking with an eternal lens.

Change Your Perspective on Marriage | Francis and Lisa Chan

Does it ever seem like the older you get, the less faith you have? We start our walk with the Lord with such a childlike excitement, but it sadly can change over time. In this week’s message, Francis challenges us to believe in a God that – even today – reveals Himself to His creation. We pray that this message stirs your faith and builds an expectation of the supernatural.

Faith, Scripture, and the Pursuit of Christ | Francis Chan

Many Christians put a high priority on the church believing and teaching the Word of God – but can we really claim to be standing for the truth without confronting sin? In this message from his time at Cornerstone Church, Francis calls believers to both hold up and live out the truth of God’s Word and lovingly stand for the purity of the Body of Christ.

The Purity of the Church | Francis Chan

Does it ever seem like the older you get, the less faith you have? We start our walk with the Lord with such a childlike excitement, but it sadly can change over time. In this week’s message, Francis challenges us to believe in a God that – even today – reveals Himself to His creation. We pray that this message stirs your faith and builds an expectation of the supernatural.

You probably know that God loves you – but do you really, deeply believe that He loves you? In this teaching, Francis opens up about a way that his perspective on God’s love often gets twisted, and invites us to trust in the Love that is so infinitely beyond our own.

The Immeasurable Love of God | Francis Chan

When we focus on only one aspect of who God is, we get dangerously close to heresy by having a lopsided view of Him. In this teaching, Francis highlights an attribute of God he feels he’s neglected his whole life, and invites us to join him in drawing near to an incredible reality: God’s throne of grace.

The Throne of Grace | Francis Chan

What’s the treasure in your life that you can’t stop talking about? In this message, Francis shares about one of his greatest treasures – the fear of the Lord – and walks us slowly, meditatively through Hebrews 12 towards a greater reverence and awe of the God we worship.

Treasuring the Fear of God | Francis Chan

When you read scripture, it doesn’t take long to come across ideas that seem to contradict our natural logic - - things like God’s power being perfected in our weakness or the least will be the greatest in the kingdom of God. In this message, Francis unpacks Scripture’s counter-cultural wisdom and why it’s better to be at the house of mourning than at the best party.

Loving the House of Mourning | Francis Chan

When gathering together for worship, it’s good to minister to other people. Scripture commands us to look after the needs of those in the Body, but how often do we focus on ministering to the Lord? In this message, Francis points us back to making what the Lord desires our highest priority: preparing ourselves for the moment we see His face, unashamedly declaring his truth, and ministering to Him with true worship.

Minister to the Lord | Francis Chan

If I asked you to name a miracle that’s recorded in Scripture, what’s the first thing that comes to mind? The blind receiving sight, or the dead to life? In this message, Francis calls the church to seek God for a miracle only He can give: godly sorrow. We encourage you to listen in as Francis directs our hearts towards repentance, weeping over what grieves the Lord, and being the kind of "progressive" church that He desires.

Godly Sorrow | Francis Chan

Join us as we continue with Part 6 of our “One Table” series where Francis and Lisa Chan along with apologists Vince and Jo Vitale unpack the topic of unity within the church. 

In this, the final episode of the One Table Series, the Chans and Vitales share from personal experience of the lessons learned from pursuing unity in their own lives. How do you walk through the process of reconciliation when you’re the one who’s been hurt? Is repentance something that we just have to do when we’ve sinned, or is it a gift that God gives us to draw closer to Him and others?

The ‘One Table’ Series (Ep. 6) | How Do We Walk Toward Unity?

Join us as we continue with Part 5 of our “One Table” series where Francis and Lisa Chan along with apologists Vince and Jo Vitale unpack the topic of unity within the church. 

In discussions about unity, it’s easy to get so caught up with side issues that we miss the very center of it all: Jesus, Himself. Today, as we continue the One Table series, Francis, Lisa, Vince, and Jo open their hearts to talk about who Jesus is to each of them, what they love about Him, and what it means for our unity when we move “beyond” Jesus to focus on other things.

The ‘One Table’ Series (Ep. 5) | Why Do You Love Jesus?

Join us as we continue with Part 4 of our “One Table” series where Francis and Lisa Chan along with apologists Vince and Jo Vitale unpack the topic of unity within the church. 

Scripture clearly commands believers to pursue unity with one another - but what about those passages where it commands us not to associate with certain people? How do we discern if a potential point of division is a core doctrine or a disputable matter? Is it possible that our unity isn’t hindered by our differences, but actually requires them?

The ‘One Table’ Series (Ep. 3) | Are We Open to New Ideas?

Join Francis and Lisa Chan for a series of honest conversations with Vince and Jo Vitale about a seemingly impossible dream: unity in the Church.

In the book of First Corinthians, Paul tells the church, “If anyone thinks that he knows anything, he knows nothing yet as he should know.” (8:2) In other words, if we think we know it all, we really don’t know anything. So how do you know whether what you believe is true? Is it because you discovered it yourself and trust your own opinion? Or is there a better way? Francis and Lisa Chan unpack these questions with Vince and Jo Vitale in today’s episode – the second discussion in our “One Table” series.

The ‘One Table’ Series (Ep. 2) | Who Knows Best?

Join Francis and Lisa Chan for a series of honest conversations with Vince and Jo Vitale about a seemingly impossible dream: unity in the Church.

In this episode, the Chans and Vitales probe into some foundational questions around pursuing unity: How can we ask honest questions about what we or others believe, despite our fears of being judged by others or facing our own doubts? How can we walk in constant humility to learn from those different from us without compromising the essentials? Is it naive to hope that the Church could ever be united again around one table?

We are living in a time like no other in the history of the Church. In this message given at Antioch's World Mandate conference, Francis Chan shares his excitement over the things that God is doing in the earth, and exhorts this generation to leave aside the free-thinking of our modern world and anchor itself in the ancient truth of God that unites all believers.

The Power and Purpose of the Holy Spirit | Francis Chan

As we stumble around in the darkness of this world, God can, at times, seem distant and out of reach. But as Dr. Jo Vitale explains, God, in His love, has spoken to us through His Son, Jesus Christ.
