Tolerance, efficient communication, respectful, supportive, active
In the same way that oil was poured onto Aaron by someone else, unity was poured onto the people by God. In the same way that oil spread from Aaron’s head to his beard to his clothing, unity was to flow from God to the priest to the people. The oil, after all, would drip onto the breastplate which bore a stone for each of the twelve tribes.
God’s people today, like God’s people in that day, have been given his gift of unity. It was objective reality for them and it is an objective reality for us.
God poured out his Spirit on the great and final High Priest, Jesus Christ, who is the head of the church. Like oil flows from hair to beard to collar, the Spirit flows from Head to body, from Christ to church.
The lesson of Aaron’s oily beard is a lesson of unity. It is so good, such a blessing to us and such a pleasure to God, when we diligently and deliberately live like children of a common Father.

1. Love & Forgiveness 2. Strong Foundations{Word of God} 3. Servant leadership 4. Communication & respect
