We hear a lot of talk today about the need for Christian unity. And surely we do need it - Jesus prayed for believers in John chapter 17, "that they may all be one."
But many of today's unity movements are promoting unity under a false flag. What is the basis of genuine Christian unity? Are you seeking genuine unity, or are you or your church marching under a false banner?
In Colossians 2:1-3, the Apostle Paul emphasizes four pillars of genuine Christian unity. Today we examine the first two: It is a matter of the heart, but not mere feelings; it is a matter of love, but not mere emotionalism.

In Colossians 1:21-22, Paul reminds us that if you are trusting in Christ alone for your salvation, you must remember four things.
God the Holy Spirit opens the eyes of the believer to see things, as the hymn writer has put it, that "Christless eyes have never seen." What things?
Christ's coming into this world 2,000 years ago demonstrates the fact that God always keeps His promises.
God's fulfilled Christmas promises are proof that His Word is the one thing you can always trust, in every circumstance of life.
Why is the Word of God the absolute and sole authority of the true church of Jesus Christ? How must the church think, and act, and minister in the light of that truth? Why is reliance upon heavenly authority alone a test of the authenticity of a church? Stay tuned for the answers, as we continue our series of studies titled "Christ Preeminent In You."
Today much of the church is attempting to redefine Christ's Great Commission -- to do man's work by earthly means, rather than doing Christ's work by the power of Heaven. We must return to the pattern and imperative that Christ has established for the Church. We must do His business by His power and by His authority.
We present the first of two messages from the archives concerning the deity of Christ - a vital doctrine in conjunction with our series on Biblical Separation.
What does it mean to "seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God"? What do you need to understand in order to be equipped to obey this commandment, and be blessed of God by that obedience? Stay tuned for the answers...
Friends, we're continuing our study of Paul's warning against man-made doctrines based on counterfeit authority, in Colossians chapter two. We've seen that the great counterfeit authority that dominates church history up to the present time is the counterfeit authority of the Roman Catholic church. The Roman Catholic church judges every word of God by the word of men.
Is this God's prescribed order, or is it a perverted order? Is the church supposed to interpret the Bible according to its traditions or some other standard, or is the Bible itself is the final authority? What does Scripture itself say about this?
The Bible tells us that the church, rather than standing in judgment over the Word of God, must be judged by the Word of God. Why is that the case? Stay tuned for the answers to those questions as we continue our series, Truth Above All, in Colossians chapter two.
