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.

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

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 today’s episode, 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

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?

When we look at the world, it’s easy to become depressed at the stark difference between how things are versus how they’re supposed to be. Dr. Vince Vitale discusses how Christianity not only affirms those feelings, but also helps to overcome them.

Can I Find Meaning for My Life Apart from God? | Dr. Jo Vitale

The Apostle Paul desired that the church “stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel.” But sadly, in this day and age, the Church seems more divided than it's ever been. Francis Chan exhorts us with a message reminding us that unity in the body of Christ is worth fighting for but it must begin with a proper perspective of the holiness of Christ.

Unity and the Fear of God | Francis Chan

When you read and study Scripture, what is your ultimate goal? Is it to find yourself in the story and focus on your needs? Or is it about something much bigger? In this week’s episode Francis Chan reminds us that Scripture isn’t about us. It’s always been about God from the very beginning. When we take a step back and maintain this perspective, it changes how we read and comprehend His Word, and ultimately how we give Him glory.

Why Does God in the Old Testament Seem So Different Than Jesus? | Dr. Jo Vitale

The prayer of many committed followers of Christ is simply, “Here I am, send me.” But in our desire to be used by God, Francis Chan explains that we need to make sure we don’t forget the most important things – to see Him clearly, to remain humble, and to tremble at His Word.
