Power of Unity
Common Ground
In the last lesson we talked about where different languages came from. But do you remember why God said, "Soon they will be able to do anything they want."? The reason what that they were unified! They all wanted the same thing! The people who built the Tower of Babel were UNIFIED and God knew that any group of people who worked together in unity could do anything! The world unity means: "To join together with one purpose."
Remember how the people who built the tower were unified but didn't make God happy? What do you think would happen if people were unified who DID make God happy? There was a UNIFED group of people who did just that...let's see what happened!

Read the Word
Acts 2:1-11 (ERV)
When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. 2 Suddenly a noise came from heaven. It sounded like a strong wind blowing. This noise filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 They saw something that looked like flames of fire. The flames were separated and stood over each person there. 4 They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they began to speak different languages. The Holy Spirit was giving them the power to do this.
5 There were some godly Jews in Jerusalem at this time. They were from every country in the world. 6 A large crowd came together because they heard the noise. They were surprised because, as the apostles were speaking, everyone heard in their own language.
7 They were all amazed at this. They did not understand how the apostles could do this. They said, “Look! These men we hear speaking are all from Galilee. 8 But we hear them in our own languages. How is this possible? We are from all these different places: 9 Parthia, Media, Elam, Mesopotamia, Judea, Cappadocia, Pontus, Asia, 10 Phrygia, Pamphylia, Egypt, the areas of Libya near the city of Cyrene, Rome, 11 Crete, and Arabia. Some of us were born Jews, and others have changed their religion to worship God like Jews. We are from these different countries, but we can hear these men in our own languages! We can all understand the great things they are saying about God.”

WOW! God brings unity by His Spirit. In Acts 2 instead of them trying to make themselves famous they began to speak great things about God! When the Holy Spirit lives in a person, It gives us power, guides us, and reveals truth to us. When we follow the leading of the Holy Spirit, we become like-minded with other believers who are following Jesus. Go can use all of us in UNITY to fulfill His purpose. Sin divided and separates. God's Spirit joins and connects together in UNITY! Just like at church...we are all there together to Worship Jesus and when we do that His Spirit comes and unify's us! God brings unity by His Spirit!
