The Power of One: The Most Powerful Number
Senior Pastor Jeff Maness
Sunday, July 13, 2025
Main Scripture: Ephesians 4:1-6
Therefore I, a prisoner for serving the Lord, beg you to lead a life worthy of your calling, for you have been called by God. 2 Always be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other’s faults because of your love. 3 Make every effort to keep yourselves united in the Spirit, binding yourselves together with peace.
4 For there is one body and one Spirit, just as you have been called to one glorious hope for the future. 5 There is one Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 one God and Father of all, who is over all, in all, and living through all. —Ephesians 4:1-6
Big Idea: When we live as one, love as one, and move as one, we reflect the power of the One.
Big Question: What makes one so powerful?
What makes one so powerful?
1. The power of one life
What is the price of five sparrows—two copper coins? Yet God does not forget a single one of them. 7 And the very hairs on your head are all numbered. So don’t be afraid; you are more valuable to God than a whole flock of sparrows. —Luke 12:6-7
For you know that God paid a ransom to save you from the empty life you inherited from your ancestors. And it was not paid with mere gold or silver, which lose their value. 19 It was the precious blood of Christ, the sinless, spotless Lamb of God. —1 Peter 1:18-19
In the same way, there is more joy in heaven over one lost sinner who repents and returns to God than over ninety-nine others who are righteous and haven’t strayed away! —Luke 15:7

1. The power of one life
2. The power of living as one
Just as our bodies have many parts and each part has a special function, 5 so it is with Christ’s body. (The Church) We are many parts of one body, and we all belong to each other. —Romans 12:4-5
Make every effort to keep yourselves united in the Spirit, binding yourselves together with peace. —Ephesians 4:3
I pray that they will all be one, just as you and I are one—as you are in me, Father, and I am in you. And may they be in us so that the world will believe you sent me… 23 I am in them and you are in me. May they experience such perfect unity that the world will know that you sent me and that you love them as much as you love me. —John 17:21, 23
