Brought To Life; Brought Together Spirit Filled Living: A Husband’ S Love Ephesians 5:25-27 Series

Contributed by David Taylor on Jan 21, 2025

So far, we have looked at God’s vision for marriage to display Christ’s relationship with his church (5:31-32). Then we saw that God calls wives to respect and ...read more

Contributed by Eddie Snipes on Mar 29, 2006

Unity is vital to any church, but the Bible does not teach unity at all cost. Part 1 of this series examines the Biblical concept of Unity through the truth of scripture.
