Unity is not natural, it is intentional and often costly, but it is also powerful and contagious. Pastor Lee Jenkins uses the movie Remember The Titans and Psalm 133 to illustrate how unity can transform teams, communities, and nations. Through personal stories, biblical insights, and cultural commentary, this message challenges listeners to be part of the solution and to embrace the supernatural work of the Holy Spirit in fostering unity.
