ONEness: Love One Another
In this final installment of our “ONEness” series, we explore what it might take for us, as individuals, to remove the spiritual barriers that prevent us from loving one another and creating oneness in the church and the world. Be sure to revisit part one, where we explored unity in the church, and part two which explored unity in the midst of an increasingly divided and partisan world.

- What strategies can you employ to overcome obstacles and cultivate a more compassionate heart?
