The Reconstruction
Uniqueness vs Unity - (1 Corinthians 1:10 KJV)
(10) Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and {that} there be no divisions among you; but {that} ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.
Speaking the same thing - Talk Scrip
Protective unity -toward one another
Hate division - the Word is our judge
We Need (T3) Talk, Time, Togetherness - (Luke 24:13-15 KJV)
(13) And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem {about} threescore furlongs. (14) And they talked together of all these things which had happened. (15) And it came to pass, that, while they communed {together} and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them.
In order to build strong friendships you need to take (talk, time & togetherness).
Jesus enjoys our communion together.
Call and encourage one another to greatness.
How much meaningful T3 - are we receiving and giving.
We Are To Strive Together To Be One with God - (John 17:11,21-23 KJV)
(11) And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we {are}. (21) That they all may be one; as thou, Father, {art} in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. (22) And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: (23) I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.
We should help each other to obey God.
We should fast, pray, read, and serve together.
We should mission to fulfill our lives in Christ.
The Lord Added Daily To the Fellowship - (Acts 2:1,42,46,47 KJV)
(1) And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. (42) And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. (46) And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, (47) Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.
Be On one accord in one place
Prayed, sang, and enjoyed
Learned doctrine, eat and enjoyed music.
God added
Be Receiving One Another- (Romans 15:5-7 KJV)
(5) Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus: (6) That ye may with one mind {and} one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. (7) Wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ also received us to the glory of God.
Welcome each other

Helpers One To Another - (Galatians 6:2,10 KJV)
(2) Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. (10) As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all {men}, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.
Help carry each others weight. Look at the ant.
Life Cooperation
(Ephesians 2:19-22 KJV)
(19) Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God; (20) And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner {stone}; (21) In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: (22) In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.

(Philippians 1:3,27 KJV)
(3) I thank my God upon every remembrance of you, (27) Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;
(Philippians 2:1-2 KJV)
(1) If {there be} therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies, (2) Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, {being} of one accord, of one mind.
(Colossians 2:2 KJV)

(1 John 1:3,7 KJV)
(3) That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship {is} with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ. (7) But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
