Theme: One Body (in Christ) - Pentecost
Due date: October 01, 2019
Ephesians 4: 3-6 can be the theme statement for this issue: “Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit … one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.” How do we practice being one body? How does unity call for conversation, confession, correction, and cooperation? Have you seen or experienced unity in the body of Christ? How and why? Stories, illustrations and examples you’ve experienced personally are great to share. How did the early church struggle with unity, and what does that say or not say to you and your fellowship of believers?
