Unity Imagined, Unity Realized (Ps 133, Ac 2:42-47) - a podcast by Rob Woodrum & Others

This Sunday we’ll be taking a short break from our study in John as we prepare for the upcoming Unity Service hosted by Pastors United of Bay County. We’ll begin a two part series that focuses on unity in preparation for that service.

Our text will be Psalm 133 and Acts 2, with an emphasis on the first and last sections of that chapter.

In Psalm 133, the priority of unity among God’s people is presented. We could say, it is unity imagined. There is some strange imagery that the psalmist uses to explain why unity is good – and it’s going to take some unpacking to figure out what it points to….but man, when we see it, it’s going to be amazing!

Not only did God imagine unity for his family, but he brought it about on the day of Pentecost when the Holy Spirit was poured out on the church. Obviously, harmony within groupings of human beings is nearly impossible – but through God’s own Spirit, anything can happen, and did!

Look for the connecting points between Psalm 133 and what happened in Acts 2 (hint: oil is often used as a symbol for the work of the Holy Spirit). The first phenomenal event that occurs with the church is what…what barrier is removed, and what might it be pointing to?

I’m really stoked about this study and looking forward to digging into these passages together! I hope you can join us this Sunday!
