While a shared belief anchors unity, it starts with a surrendered heart that declares, “nothing is ultimately mine.” Living in surrender fosters a deep understanding that everything given belongs to God. We are mere channels created to steward the blessings He has bestowed. When we come together in our Build Together Offering, our desire is a unified body committed to hearing and obeying God together. Our goal is to unite as one body, fully surrendered to hear and obey. As we serve through Spirit-led generosity and come together as one in surrender, we can trust that a blessing awaits.

This week, we will explore what it means to be One in Grace. In Acts, believers begin to expect miracles. Grace becomes a reality as believers walk in the authority of the priesthood and kingship given through Jesus. Peter’s expedition reflects a priestly heart, illustrating the caring and teaching of others through the five-fold ministry. Paul’s journey highlights the mission. Believers live out their faith as employers, businesspeople, and property owners to spread God’s Kingdom. The Holy Spirit came upon the community, helping them unite in grace and fostering a shared spirit through hearing and obeying God.

This week, the focus will be on unity in mission. Unity serves a purpose. When we come together, God’s Kingdom advances, which is at the heart of the building together offering. The book of Acts describes what this mission looks like. Acts 1:8 is the heartbeat of the book. It provides a summary and a pattern of what we need to do. When the Holy Spirit comes upon us, we receive the power to be witnesses. Our mission is to be empowered by God, opposed by the enemy, and to build the church.

The early church provides a powerful example of unity rooted in faith, demonstrated through surrender, strengthened by grace, driven by mission, and expressed in sacrifice. Acts 4:32-35 highlights how unity in Christ fosters blessings within the community and acts as a testimony to the world. Each message in the One Heart, One Soul series emphasizes a key principle—one in faith, one in surrender, one in grace, one in mission, and one in sacrifice—reminding us that through faith, unity is found, and through unity, blessings flow. This shared bond is seen in our collective willingness to sacrifice, offering what we have for the needs of the body and future generations, embodying the spirit of Build Together Sunday.
