UCAIM is United Christians for Arab Israeli Ministries. This PowerPoint was used as part of a sermon at the 2017 UCAIM meeting in Charleston SC, and addresses the unity needed in the Body of Christ to win Arabs and Israelis in the Holy Land.

1. Acts 4:23 – 37

2. 1. In order to witness the highest
level of God's power in UCAIM
and our own churches we must
be unanimous in our praise, i.e.
focus on God.

3. Acts 4:23-28 (NASB) When they
had been released, they went to
their own companions and
reported all that the chief priests
and the elders had said to them.
24 And when they heard this, they
lifted their voices to God with one
accord and said,

4. "O Lord, it is You who MADE THE
HEAVEN AND THE EARTH AND
THE SEA, AND ALL THAT IS IN
THEM, 25 who by the Holy Spirit,
through the mouth of our father
David Your servant, said, 'WHY DID
THE GENTILES RAGE, AND THE
PEOPLES DEVISE FUTILE THINGS?
26 'THE KINGS OF THE EARTH
TOOK THEIR STAND, AND THE
RULERS WERE GATHERED
TOGETHER AGAINST THE LORD
AND AGAINST HIS CHRIST.'

5. 2. In order to witness the highest
level of God's power in UCAIM
and our own churches we must
pray in unison and expectantly.

6. 27 "For truly in this city there
were gathered together against
Your holy servant Jesus, whom
You anointed, both Herod and
Pontius Pilate, along with the
Gentiles and the peoples of Israel,
28 to do whatever Your hand and
Your purpose predestined to
occur.
e pluribus unum: Latin for “Out of
many, one.”

Your purpose predestined to

8. Acts 4:29-31 (NASB) "And now,
Lord, take note of their threats, and
grant that Your bond-servants may
speak Your word with all
confidence, 30 while You extend
Your hand to heal, and signs and
wonders take place through the
name of Your holy servant Jesus."
31 And when they had prayed, the
place where they had gathered
together was shaken, and they were
all filled with the Holy Spirit and
began to speak the word of God
with boldness.

9. 3. In order to witness the highest
level of God's power in UCAIM
and our own churches we must
be in unity of thought and
purpose.

10. Acts 4:32 (NASB) And the
congregation of those who
believed were of one heart and
soul; and not one of them claimed
that anything belonging to him
was his own, but all things were
common property to them.

11. The End Result: When one body is
united in faith, mind, and
purpose, a powerful witness is
then demonstrated to non-
believers as evidence of God's
abounding GRACE for those who
believe!
In other words; when the Church
is genuinely untied the lost will
see Jesus in us and through us.

13. Acts 4:33-35 (NASB) And with
great power the apostles were
giving testimony to the
resurrection of the Lord Jesus,
and abundant grace was upon
them all. 34 For there was not a
needy person among them, for all
who were owners of land or
houses would sell them and bring
the proceeds of the sales 35 and
lay them at the apostles' feet, and
they would be distributed to each
as any had need.

14. Romans 2:3-4 (NASB) But do you
suppose this, O man, when you
pass judgment on those who
practice such things and do the
same yourself, that you will
escape the judgment of God? 4 Or
do you think lightly of the riches
of His kindness and tolerance and
patience, not knowing that the
kindness of God leads you to
repentance?
