18. Missed blessings (Psalm 133:1-3, Acts 2:42-47) - Disunity can prevent believers from experiencing God's blessings and joy.

19. Lack of love (1 John 4:7-8, 1 John 4:20-21) - Disunity demonstrates a lack of love, which is contrary to God's nature.

19. Celebrate the diversity of approaches and ministries (Revelation 5:9-10)

20. Trust that God is bigger than our differences, and He will use our unique approaches for His glory (Ephesians 3:20-21)

Remember, as pastors, we are called to be examples of Christlike behavior, showing love, humility, and respect to all, even when we disagree. By doing so, we can create a culture of unity, understanding, and mutual respect.
