Week 2 of our The BIG 6 series explores the powerful theme behind U2's iconic song One and what it teaches us about biblical unity.

Drawing from Jesus' prayer in John 17, Ps Khulu Duma unpacks how unity is far more than simply getting along—it's God's strategy for building His Kingdom, advancing the Gospel, taking spiritual ground, and revealing His love to the world.

Discover why we are called to be united by our love for Jesus and our love for one another, and how living out the "one another" commands in Scripture can transform our families, our church, and our communities.

In this message you'll discover:

• Why unity was one of Jesus' greatest prayers for His Church
• How unity builds, advances, and strengthens God's Kingdom
• Why love is the foundation of lasting unity
• Practical ways to live out the "one another" commands of Scripture every day

Be encouraged to live as ONE and experience the power of a united Church.
