Week 3: Unity Through Humility and Service

In this lesson, we turn from identifying barriers to unity to exploring the attitudes and practices that actively strengthen it. Scripture makes clear that unity in the church is not sustained by personality, preference, or power, but by humility shaped by Christ and service modeled after Him. Drawing primarily from Philippians 2 and Ephesians 4, this lesson shows that unity grows when believers adopt Christ’s mindset—laying aside self-interest, serving one another sacrificially, and valuing the good of the body above personal recognition. Unity is guarded not by avoiding responsibility, but by embracing the way of the cross.
