The measure of a disciple is the measure of love; the measure of Christlikeness; the measure of trustworthiness; the measure of fruitfulness. Everything Jesus did in His earthly ministry was done in faith by the power of the Spirit and always to serve people in love. The measure of a disciple is not faith, but love.
In this series we are learning to walk in love–both to receive Jesus’ love for us and to give it away to others. Hear how Jesus loves and walk in that love.

We’ve been discovering that when the Holy Spirit moves He not only saves, heals, grows the church and such; He also heals relationships, unites, and deepens intimate connection with God and others. This is the power of fellowship. It is not something the world comprehends, nor something religion can manufacture. It is something only the Holy Spirit can produce in us, the body of Christ.
This intimate, deep, meaningful, satisfying connection with God and people is what we were made for, what we all long for. As you listen to this message, let the Lord show you how He can produce this depth of unity in us–in our church, family, friendships and such.
Enjoy!
Friends,
Do you realize that Jesus died for the unity of the church!? He didn’t only die for your personal sins, but our corporate ones as well–the ones that keep us divided and broken. Jesus prayed for unity and paid for unity. Why!? Because He died to heal the whole person and the whole world which is knit together or torn apart by the quality of our relationships.
The unity of the church will be a light in darkness; will bring hope to families. But unity is not something we can manufacture; it has to be produced by the power of the Holy Spirit. Find out how in this message.
Enjoy!
